Follow me for ways to create a seamless, successful, and transformative college experience for all students from start to finish.
I recently responded to Joe Wilferth in the following manner. We share similar perspectives. Your article presents a compelling argument, one that I've been advocating for years. In essence, higher education, particularly the Liberal Arts, should be thriving in our current knowledge-based and conceptual economy. However, we struggle to communicate our message because we are a triple-bottom-line business. I wrote about it recently here: https://lnkd.in/dXPF4kKz Curious about your thoughts.
Who's your target audience? It depends on your desired outcome. Persuading others, in this case about the value of a liberal arts education, means that we must advocate beyond our peer groups, namely other academics, and make effective, public arguments about the value of a four-year degree. And now is the time! Be a champion for higher education and for its outcomes, i.e., critical thinking, innovation and creative problem solving, excellent communication skills (both verbal and written), and the ability to collaborate effectively with peers from diverse backgrounds, experiences, and identities.
