Why go to college? December 9, 2011
Tags: college, education, expect, expectations, Kip Wheeler, postaday2011, professors
I stumbled on this excellent essay today by professor Kip Wheeler, a Chaucer scholar who teaches in Tennessee at Carson-Newman College. What Professors Expect discusses the value of a liberal arts education, and explores the true purpose of going through the educational process. Worth a read for students pondering their options and goals.
