Abstract	In this article, the authors investigate how incorporation of moral and civic goals into the curriculum affects the students' capacity to contribute productively to the world. Case studies of a dozen different types of higher education institutions show that purposefully building moral and civic learning into the heart of undergraduate education can make a profound difference in students' lives and create personal concerns and passions that will lead to deeper understanding and more memorable learning of the course's academic content. Weaving moral and civic issues into the heart of the curriculum offers the best hope of connecting with the hard-to-reach students and making sure that students already on an inspired path will not lose their way.
