Real Life Starts Now

Tone-deaf College communications miss the point of a liberal arts education, 'Verbum Ultimum' Editorial, The Dartmouth.

"The central issue with this logic is that it assumes a liberal education and engagement with the wider world must be, or even can be, mutually exclusive. The liberal arts prepare students to serve as citizens of a democratic society. To ignore the world around us is not an effective way to learn; classroom learning complements, and does not supplant, the real world. The suggestion that students shrink away into Zoom rooms at a pivotal moment in American history betrays a profound and troubling misunderstanding of what a liberal arts education means."
