COVID-19 has been apocalyptic for higher education, presenting a cliff made still taller by a powerful protest movement.

Both events have intensified pressures long squeezing the survival of the liberal arts as a viable educational model, highlighting both the urgency and the elusiveness of moral formation in a twenty-first century education. How might those invested in preserving the liberal arts proceed? Might this year in all its drama present a tipping point for good?

Join Jessica Hooten Wilson, Francis Su, and Jeffrey Bilbro for a conversation on the future of the liberal arts in higher education. David Henreckson of Valparaiso University and Anne Snyder of Breaking Ground will be moderating.
