Get a Job or Get a Life? (Or Both?)
Higher education is currently involved in a dynamic conversation about its purpose ? are colleges and universities intended to develop skills for a job, or should colleges and universities pursue other goals around civic engagement, such as developing skills for community-building and democratic action? Or should it do both? Join other campuses in bringing student voices to this national conversation on the role of higher education in civic and community life.
