Acknowledgments

CitySpace At The Lavine Broadcast Center has been named in honor of Jeannie and Jonathan Lavine. Their 5 million-dollar leadership gift through The Crimson Lion/Lavine Family Foundation was the cornerstone in making CitySpace a reality.

CitySpace’s mission to promote vigorous, intelligent and well-informed conversation about the most pressing issues facing our world, nation and community is central to the goal of addressing our most pressing social challenges. By supporting CitySpace, the Lavines are proud to take an active role in helping advance true dialogue – something that is urgently needed in the current polarized environment. The Lavines hope CitySpace will contribute to the City of Boston’s reputation as a center of academic excellence and civil discourse, and serve as an important gathering place for years to come.
