Our world needs ethical leaders who embrace rigorous, critical thinking, who problem solve using multidisciplinary lenses, and who develop the capacity to work productively and civilly across differences. No one is born with these abilities, but together we can work to fulfill our civic responsibilities and achieve real gains for our global society. The development of these skills is at the heart of liberal arts education, and this kind of education has never been more important.
