Due to high student interest in the event, there will be a waitlist for in-person attendance, with priority given to students and faculty. If you are not a student or faculty member, please join online.

Are some books “great” in a way others are not? Can a core curriculum represent all the members of a university community? What should students get out of their classes in the Core? How should we justify liberal education today? Join us at Faculty House, Presidential Room 1 for a conversation between Roosevelt Montás (Columbia) and Zena Hitz (St. John’s College), moderated by Emmanuelle Saada (Columbia). Refreshments will be provided following the talk.
