Ramsey will provide a critical analysis of the current culture of learning in American higher education and discuss ways in which that culture should be reimagined to provide students with the knowledge, skills and perspective necessary to meet today’s challenges.
The primary goal of the lecture is to broaden participation in a conversation about transforming higher education and, more specifically, the way students are prepared for productive, adaptive, resilient and meaningful lives in the emerging global and environmentally “hotter” future.
The free event will be held in the Elliott University Center auditorium and refreshments will follow. Free parking is available in UNCG’s Walker Parking Deck.
