Liberal Education and Social Responsibility in a Global
Community
DISCUSSION TOPICS
Faculty teams have developed the following questions for consideration by
Colloquy presenters:
Most of us would agree that students should graduate from
college with a set of questions rather than answers. What are some of the
important questions that we should be cultivating with our
students?
Is there a single, particularly profound moment in your experience as a
student that opened your perspective on the world -- something you could share
with us that would provide some insights as we begin the process of reshaping
our curriculum?
Thinking creatively about our current structures in higher education
(semester length, majors, curriculum, credit hours, etc.)... How can we
re-envision these structures to more effectively address the challenges of the
21st century?
How can institutions of higher learning remain relevant in
our 21st-century world in which there are a number of alternative forms of
education (e.g., online learning, corporate education)? In what important ways
will we have to change to remain relevant?
Questions developed by faculty teams for individual presenters may be read on
the presenter's page (see Colloquy
Presenters).
