Northwestern University Trustee Jennifer Leischner Litowitz ’91 and Alec Litowitz (’22, ’27 P) have made a $20 million gift in support of the Center for Enlightened Disagreement to accelerate the University’s impact on promoting constructive engagement and discourse in an increasingly polarized world. The Litowitz Center for Enlightened Disagreement will take a comprehensive approach to making enlightened disagreement a fully integrated part of student life, with the potential to reach thousands of Northwestern students across schools and majors each year. “The intent of the center is to teach this type of critical thinking to create a foundation of understanding for constructive discussion and debate. The result may not be agreement, but something equally valuable: enlightened disagreement. Through a partnership with the University’s Division of Student Affairs, the Litowitz Center will offer an innovative co-curricular program for students living on campus, with a pilot launching during the upcoming academic year.
