UB's Yale Gordon College of Arts and Sciences invites you to a yearlong symposium to facilitate campuswide conversation about the future of integrative applied liberal arts and sciences at a 21st-century University of Baltimore.
To kick off the symposium, Carol Geary Schneider, president of the Association of American Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) will present:
Visioning for Excellence: Symposium on the Future of Integrative Applied Liberal Arts and Sciences at UB
Under Schneider's leadership, AAC&U launched Liberal Education and America’s Promise, a public-advocacy and campus-action initiative to engage students and the public with what really matters in a college education for the 21st century.
The LEAP campaign builds on AAC&U’s major effort, Greater Expectations: The Commitment to Quality as a Nation Goes to College, a multi-year initiative designed to articulate the aims of a 21st-century liberal education and to identify comprehensive, innovative models that improve learning for all undergraduate students.
Schneider is a graduate of Mount Holyoke College with a bachelor's degree in history (Magna Cum Laude, Phi Beta Kappa). She studied at the University of London's Institute for Historical Research and earned a Ph.D. in history from Harvard University. She also has received eight honorary degrees and is a 2011 recipient of the ACPA's Contribution to Higher Education Award.
A reception will follow the keynote address.
