As the higher-ed landscape keeps changing, what's the future of liberal arts education? How do the liberal arts prepare you for a career? How do you demonstrate leadership during difficult times? Watch the conversation between former NEH Chairman and Colby College President Dr. William "Bro" Adams and Dr. Chris Surprenant of the University of New Orleans.
Dr. Adams and Dr. Surprenant consider questions like, how should we think about the relationship between work and liberal learning? How does the liberal arts curriculum prepare students for careers? How do you speak to the concerns of students and parents about finding jobs? What about civic readiness? How do you deal with measurement? How do you deal with the issue of money in higher ed?
They also discuss questions that are especially relevant during the COVID-19 crisis: how do you make tough decisions that may be unpopular with students? How do you demonstrate leadership?
This conversation took place on May 20, 2020. This is event is first in a series of conversations that IHS will host on "Education and the Future of Work.”
