New Ideal is one part of the Ayn Rand Institute’s mission to spread awareness and understanding of the philosophy of Objectivism. But this mission involves many other programs as well. Join Aaron Smith and Sam Weaver as they discuss the impact of ARI’s educational programs—as expressed by those who participate in them.

Among the topics covered:

• The impact of ARI’s “Books for Teachers” program on students;
• How ARI’s essay contests help motivate students to engage deeply with Rand’s ideas;
• The impact of classroom visits by ARI intellectuals;
• How the Ayn Rand University fosters new Objectivist intellectuals.
