Graduating from college has traditionally been, and
for many Americans still is, a much-desired goal. But increasingly the value and make-up of a college education is being questioned. Is college worth the expense? Is a degree needed for success in contemporary America? Should college prepare a student for a job or for a life?

College: What it Was, Is and Should BeProfessor Andrew Delbanco addresses these and other timely questions in his new book College: What It Was, Is  
and Should Be. Professor Delbanco explores the history and purpose of American higher education and illuminates how tensions between character formation and professional training, as well as those between teaching and research, have shaped our colleges and universities. (This event
does not provide credit hours.) 
Join us for a free, online conversation on a subject that has profound implications for America's future.
