American Center for Public Leadership

The second week of March is very special to us because…. it Civic Learning Week!! ✨🇺🇸

This nationwide initiative promotes a deeper understanding of government, civic responsibility, and constitutional principles through activities and events that highlight voting, civil rights, public discourse, and citizen participation.

Special thanks to Florida Senate President Ben Albritton, former Congressman Dennis Ross and Dr. Stephen Masyada at the Lou Frey Institute for their leadership in advancing civic education, and to the Florida Legislature for supporting this important effort! 🦅

Please join us on March 19th for An Afternoon with Congressman Trey Gowdy at the Lakeland Country Club in support of Southeastern’s American Center for Public Leadership (ACPL).

The afternoon will begin with a private reception at 12:00 p.m., followed by luncheon at 12:30 p.m. (Valet and lunch are included.) We’ll share a brief update on ACPL’s work, hear directly from one of our students about the Center’s impact, and then enjoy featured remarks from Congressman Gowdy.

“The American Center for Public Leadership is honored to receive a grant to further its mission of civic education and engagement on a national level. If we are ever to become a more perfect union, then our middle schools, high schools, colleges, and universities must have the courage to teach the next generation of leaders the unvarnished history of American Civics utilizing primary source materials, and the requirement that we all must participate in this process.“
- Former Congressman Dennis Ross

We are thrilled to share that we have received a grant from the Department of Education. This provides us the opportunity to expand new programs and nurture our existing ones. We are honored to have the opportunity to serve our student body and community 🇺🇸
