False Dichotomy: The Liberal Arts & Hard Skills
Description:
The promise of higher education is to positively impact students' life trajectories, and a liberal arts degree is uniquely positioned to do that - when paired with in-demand skills. It's not an either/or - for the benefit of students, longstanding institutions, and employers ready to hire - it has to be a both/and.
