so we are proud member of the national service alliance. uld be easier if schools were to embrace their civic mission. after all that was the idea of public education. so we have been proud partners of the campaign initiative in schools and we are proud with them a number of years ago to support their sum of report called guardian of democracy which shouldn't be confused with guardians of the galaxy. that's a whole different thing. but later today we are going to have so much into all four of these areas where we are going to ask you with our captains to really talk about the work you are doing, to share lessons learned, to challenge us and each other to think about how we should do our work differently, to connect, to help us empower each other so that we can act when we leave this conference and we can be stronger for it. so that is our mission today and i'm thrilled that all of you are here to be a part of that. at this time i want to introduce marcy campos. she is the director of community engagement and service here at american universi
