4:00 pm – 5:30 pm EDT/GMT-4 Online Event
4 PM New York l 10 PM Vienna
AltLiberalArts' “Five Disruptive Principles in the Liberal Arts” series explores the core values that define an exceptional liberal arts education. The second event in the series will explore "Engagement." Carol Flint will moderate and Maureen T. Cannon and Maria Vesperi are panelists.
In student-driven learning environments, students aren’t treated as consumers of education, nor as vessels to be filled with information. Instead, they are expected to be active participants in their own academic journeys.
Carol Flint and Emmy Award winner who has written and produced over 400 hours of episodic prime time television, including the shows LA Law, ER, and the West Wing.
Maureen T. Cannon has practiced at both the Public Defender Service for the District of Columbia and the Washington, D.C. law firm of Williams and Connolly. In her own law practice, she has represented leading executives in the fields of higher education and professional sports.
Maria Vesperi is an anthropologist and a professor at the University of South Florida and then a journalist for the Tampa Bay Times. She then joined the New College of Florida Anthropology department and helped students establish The Catalyst, a student-led newspaper.
