What does it mean to be well educated?

Lutheran Campus Ministry — Expanding Minds, Deepening Faith, Inspiring Service
Lutherans have much to contribute to the discussion about what it means to speak of someone well educated. Martin Luther, himself a professor at Wittenberg University, lifted up the importance of connecting education and vocation in the world. Education is worldly in the best sense of the word. And to be a well educated man or woman implies in large part to be a person of both competence and conscience. I hope in this centennial year of Lutheran Campus Ministry you will consider participating in Thursday’s conversation on “What does it mean to be well educated?”
Is job preparation enough? Is a degree from Dartmouth, Harvard or……Yale enough? How does (or should) the secular institution impart wisdom and meaning?
Date: Thursday, March 29th, 7:00 to 8:30 PM, Dartmouth Hall, room 105.
Moderator: Dean Dan Nelson
Presenters:
Lori Arviso Alvord
DHMC Surgeon, Dartmouth graduate
and member of the Navajo Tribe
Edward Boraz
Rabbi of the Roth Center and
Dartmouth Hilllel
James Murphy
Associate Professor of Government
Come join the conversation. First Thursday evening of the Spring Term.
Made possible by generous support from Tucker Foundation, the Office of the Dean of the College, the President’s Office, the Dickey Center, and the Dartmouth Center for the Advancement of Learning.
