CILA Faculty Lunch Conversation: "General Education at St. Olaf College: Burden or Opportunity?"

Wednesday, September 29 11:45-1:15 in Buntrock 142

Members of the 2004 GE Task Force: Mary Cisar (convenor), Jo Beld, David Booth (chair of CEPC), Gerry Hoekstra

Come and acquaint (or reacquaint) yourself with the underlying assumptions and philosophy of our general education curriculum, which has now been in effect for ten years. The 2004 General Education Task Force has come away from their inquiry into the curriculum convinced of the soundness of the opportunity it affords to students and faculty, while suggesting some areas where the curriculum is showing its age. This CILA luncheon will be an opportunity to explore in more detail some of the recommendations of the task force's August 2004 report.
