What Happens After Graduation?
Students need content and skills to engage with the world. But at a time when we’re faced with unprecedented challenges so large that they break the system—every system—what else is necessary? This webinar explores the issues our students will face upon graduation, issues that are dynamic, shifting, and resistant to simple solutions. What does the age of COVID tell us about how we need to rethink higher ed at every level, from institutional structures all the way down to the papers we assign and the questions we ask on exams? What do we need to do if we’re to develop graduates who have the abilities—and the motivations—to take thoughtful risks as they tackle the messy problems of the world?
