Faculty Development Groups
Teaching the Liberal Arts
Description:
Is education a means to a career—or an end in itself?
This faculty development group will explore the tension between workforce-focused education and the liberal arts mission of fostering lifelong learning, curiosity, and critical thinking. Together, we’ll consider how these goals can complement rather than compete with one another—and how we can reflect both in our teaching.
Join us for a meaningful dialogue about the role of education today.
