The Power Of A Liberal Arts Education - This session explores the lifelong advantages of a Liberal Arts education. Built upon a foundation of critical thinking, incisive questioning, creative problem solving and the practical application of theoretical discussion -- skills that we will rely on increasingly as the world around us shifts in predictable and unpredictable ways. This approach to learning requires the development of crucial skills that are often de-emphasized in a tracked or more singular approach to higher education. Empathy, flexibility, and ingenuity are integral to our ability to effectively adapt to the changing environment and to adequately consider the impacts of our voices and our actions. A Liberal Arts education empowers students to explore their passions deeply, to own their roles as developing professionals in their field(s) of study, and contribute to the world in new and necessary ways as independent thinkers and global citizens.
