Date & time

Apr 14, 2021, 2:00-3:00 pm EDT

Location

This is a Virtual Event.

A panel of academic leaders will consider how a focus on the lives students lead beyond college, on the outcomes of liberal arts education, can make the case for it. What outcomes are most pertinent, and most exciting? Which outcomes should be measured, and then marshalled? Panelists will also address what they most want to know about liberal education, and how the College and Beyond II project can help to explore those questions.

This event will be recorded and posted on the College and Beyond II: Liberal Arts and Life website.
