| Abstract | Society is accustomed to advancing the meritocratic ethos that sends the children of affluent and professional families on to four-year liberal arts colleges while leaving behind others who are fully capable but who come from low-income or working-class families or from families of color. Such students often feel that a liberal arts college education is meant for other people, not for them. The New American Baccalaureate Project, a nonprofit organization where the author serves as executive director, focuses squarely on this deficit, and with the Village Commons Initiative, liberal arts colleges are urged to embrace their rural, low-income, and working-class neighbors as part of an expanded view of diversity. The initiative aims to help liberal arts colleges become Village Commons responsive to the needs and aspirations of their region, be it rural, urban, or suburban, rather than a "privileged enclave" of politically liberal attitudes that are in many ways alien to the more conservative views of folks in nearby communities. Randolph Union High School requires that every student connect with a mentor from outside the school building, be it a college educator or a business professional, before graduating. Randolph Union's work to partner with area colleges and universities to connect rural and low-income high school students with college mentors serves as a good model for Village Commons efforts.
