Lecture: Civic Engagement as a Liberal Art

Richard Guarasci, president emeritus of Wagner College, and Grant Cornwell, president emeritus of Rollins College, will explore in conversation how higher education in general and colleges in specific are anchor institutions in American democracy.  Civic engagement is both an educational imperative and an ethical imperative, where colleges need to be engaged with the communities that sustain them and that they, in turn, sustain. The St. Olaf community at large is invited to attend, and stay for a reception to follow.
