College and Character Initiative Advisory Board

The John Templeton Foundation has recruited a panel of distinguished academic leaders, scholars, and experts to advise the College and Character Initiative. The advisory board helped to establish the program categories, criteria, and selection process for The Templeton Guide: Colleges that Encourage Character Development. However, the board was not responsible for the selection of the exemplary programs, presidents, and Honor Roll schools profiled in the guidebook.
