Liberal Arts: The Not So Liberal or Artsy Change We Need

Description:

At The University of Texas at Austin, we have a saying: What starts here changes the world. The question is, how can we change the world if we don't know what the world entails? Through my session, I want to include a professional to discuss the numerous benefits of a liberal arts education and how it can allow for a better understanding of global perspectives, and how that can aid in creating a better educational and professional environment. Furthermore, I want to share my experience, as a member of a minority community, understanding the value of a global perspective.
