Dartmouth Webcast: Undergraduate EducationNew approaches, same goal

Think you know what it takes to produce the best undergraduate education in the country? Think Again.

The liberal arts mission hasn't changed. To teach young people to think critically, with open minds, through a rigorous curriculum. To enable them to apply these skills years after they've left campus. The liberal arts are liberating arts, to quote John Sloan Dickey-equipping students with the smarts and confidence to approach the world with fresh eyes.

What has changed is how we achieve it. Join Dean of Faculty Carol Folt in a candid dialogue on undergraduate education at Dartmouth. In an interactive live webcast December 5, discuss why

• Learning at the intersection of disciplines is essential in problem-solving and understanding our world.
