ÐÔ°®ÌìÌà Community:
October is National Arts and Humanities Month, and it arrives at an important time for ÐÔ°®ÌìÌÃ. Just a few weeks ago, we dedicated Dicke Hall, ÐÔ°®ÌìÌÃ’s Home for the Humanities. It’s a stunning architectural masterpiece - one that fosters collaboration and the free exchange of ideas. I invite you to take a couple of minutes toÂ
As we celebrate the humanities, it’s important to remember that they are a vital and intrinsic part of a liberal arts education at ÐÔ°®ÌìÌÃ. The study of literature, language, philosophy, and the broader examination of the human condition prepares citizens who help lead their communities and workplaces in asking better questions and finding better solutions. Those skills are desperately needed today.
I recently sat down with Dr. Megan Mustain, ÐÔ°®ÌìÌà Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, to discuss the Humanities, why they’re important, and how ÐÔ°®ÌìÌà is embracing them.
Please join us for Humanities Day on Friday, October 21, during . You’ll hear from several ÐÔ°®ÌìÌà Humanities alumni and learn how they’ve turned their majors into diverse career opportunities.
I hope to see you soon.
