Events Representative of the Liberal Arts
Many events throughout the year are exemplary models of the core values of the liberal arts education – values such as complex thinking across disciplinary boundaries, active and engaged learning, and civic engagement and social responsibility. These events may not directly address as an explicit topic of consideration our Year’s themes of the liberal arts and higher education, but they are representative of the innovative, thought-provoking experiences that regularly occur at a liberal arts college like Wofford.
