As promised, Executive Director Lee Strang has received his burnt orange hat!

Thank you to Associate Professor Carola Binder of
School of Civic Leadership - UT Austin for delivering the hat during our 2026 Conference on Civic Thought this week (and for sharing in some Buckeye spirit while in Columbus)!

Despite our rivalry, the fellowship and community shared at a conference like this are vital to the growth and flourishing of civic thought.

Stay tuned for Lee wearing the hat around campus…
