Online networks enable different forms of identity,
legitimacy, and belonging

Newly emerging species: open, public, hybrid
Own your story
Own your perspective
Own your purpose. Make it powerful.
Own your silliness
Own your humanity. Let us see it. Help us see our own.
A new sense of public commons
Institutions are a vital part of the Networked Age
CONNECT.
