Our staff and the ECI Fellows are committed to learning from, with, and for the ECI Community. We want to partner with you in a shared effort and movement to educate character in colleges and universities.

Toward that end, we would love to find ways to connect with you to address needs as they emerge. Would you like a professional development workshop for faculty or staff related to your character formation efforts? Are you working on a character project and need support from experts in research, evaluation, and assessment? Would you like to consult with one of our ECI Fellows on pedagogy, curricular or co-curricular programming, or building culture for character projects in your institution? Do you need a particular resource that our educational team could create or co-create with you? Please use the links below to learn more about our expertise and use the form to request support.
