I saw this on MyRWU and thought of our class. Unfortanately, I don't think I'm going to be able to attend this event as I'm not usually in RI on Wednesday nights, but I thought this might be a very interesting event for members of our class, given the conversations we've had this semester. (I want you all to go so badly that I'm even trying to imagine ways to bribe you to go...Any ideas?):
Socrates Café will explore the pros and cons of liberal arts degrees
BRISTOL, R.I., November 2007 – If you’re a student considering a liberal arts degree, you might weigh the pros and cons of obtaining a well-rounded education versus a narrowly focused degree. Are degrees in subjects such as history, English, psychology or foreign language marketable in today’s work force, or not?
Members of the Roger Williams University community will gather to examine the those questions on Wednesday, Dec. 5, at the University’s next Socrates Café discussion, titled “What Good is a Liberal Arts Education?” Dr. Jeffrey Meriwether, professor of history, will moderate the discussion.
The event will begin at 7 p.m. in the Mary Tefft White Cultural Center in the University’s Main Library on the Bristol Campus at One Old Ferry Road. All Socrates Café discussions are free and open to the public as space allows.
