Knox provides its students with an education that prepares them to be engaged, innovative, and productive global citizens, ready to lead lives of purpose and to work in fields that don't even exist yet. But our future is also rooted in our past. We're a community that does the hard, inspiring, sometimes bewildering daily work of making sense of the big picture. We're also a community that puts the big picture together. We're on the ground in neighborhoods and organizations around the world, doing research, making connections, breaking down boundaries, building the future.
