A Shared Space for the Common Good

The Common Square

The Common Square is a virtual shared space where members of our CCG community can come together for discussion and education, to participate in events, to exchange ideas and engage in debate and discourse, and to share thought leadership and informed inquiry around important issues.

This Common Square — a virtual gathering hub—will be a CCG source for news, opinion, and knowledge intended for the good of our community.

Come to the Common Square for …

  • Advocacy and Action
  • Scholarship and Research
  • Thought Leadership
  • CCG Events


Whether our faculty scholars or staff experts are speaking to the most pressing issues of the day or offering insight to nurture our curiosity and knowledge — the Common Square is a space all are welcome to join. Consider this a new kind of community square — the Common Square — the CCG’s common ground to be informed and inspired.
