Why Is The University?
The US Higher education system is undergoing swift and seismic shifts. Amidst this ongoing crisis, what do people even think college is anymore? How did we get our ideas about the university– from our families? Our K-12 teachers? Movies and TV? Why did we choose to go or not go to college– or to work in one? Why might we want our kids to go to college? What can higher education give us– and how should it change? Join me as I talk to guests from all ages, backgrounds, and relationships to the university to explore what higher education means today.
