Thank you, Knoxville: Resources and Information from the National Conference

We want to thank everyone for another truly wonderful CCHA National Conference! We enjoyed your presentations and scholarship, and we loved the sights and sounds of Knoxville, which even included a Pride parade at our doorstep on Friday. Knoxville truly is a dynamic and diverse city! Please be sure to check out the link below for more on opportunities and information from our three amazing Friday plenary speakers and others. We’ll be in touch with more CCHA events and opportunities in the coming months, and we can’t wait to see everyone next year at Lane Community College in Eugene, Oregon!

NHA Webinar: Attracting Students to the Liberal Arts Through Integrative Curricula

We are pleased to announce a webinar launching our newest report, entitled Attracting Students to the Liberal Arts Through Integrative Curricula, on October 24th. The report includes 12 in-depth case studies and 20 brief profiles. The highlighted initiatives integrate the humanities, social sciences, and/or natural sciences with applied approaches and pre-professional training, helping to demonstrate the value of a broad-based education to skeptical students. The report was researched and produced thanks to a generous grant from the Arthur Vining Davis Foundations.

The webinar will take place from 2–3 pm ET. We will offer broad takeaways from this national study and hear from project leaders representing three of the featured initiatives.

Panelists include:

  • Miriam Horne, Professor and Assistant Dean for Adjunct Support in the Core Division, Champlain College
  • Tracy Leavelle, Director, Kingfisher Institute for the Liberal Arts and Professions, Creighton University
  • Gayle Rogers, Andrew W. Mellon Professor of English and Department Chair, University of Pittsburgh

The panel will be moderated by Scott Muir, NHA’s director of undergraduate initiatives.
