So looking forward to presiding over a Spirit of '76 Cafe at the National Constitution Center on June 4, 2026, one month before our 250-year celebration of the Declaration. I was honored to be named first-ever Senior Education Fellow @ NCC in 2014 constitutioncenter.org/.../news/chr...

My inaugural Socrates AI Cafe open.substack.com/pub/christop...

It was such an honor to preside over a number of interactive inquiries with American University's Civic Life Fellows, pictured with me here.
