Conversation on the Liberal Arts
O
ur annual Conversation on the Liberal Arts gathers faculty and administrators from colleges and universities nationwide to address the challenges facing liberal arts education: How do we educate for membership in a global community? How is a liberal arts education related to work and calling? What are the challenges and opportunities of liberally educating students of faith? We learn from some of the best in the field, but mostly we learn from each other as we share how things look through our sometimes very different lenses.
