“Learning for Life: An Initiative for the Liberal Arts at Boise State” is a faculty-led initiative designed to explore and enhance the values of liberal arts education at Boise State University. Over the course of the academic year, the initiative will provide a forum that will engage faculty in generating a set of recommendations: (A) to ensure that we offer our students opportunities to engage in the liberal arts in a variety of ways; and (B) that our graduates are prepared to learn for life. President Kustra hosted a faculty luncheon on October 17 in the Hatch Ballroom to kick off the initiative. In his address to the faculty, Dr. Kustra challenged the faculty to think of our graduates as the “citizens of tomorrow” and to consider the ways that liberal arts add value to our undergraduate degrees and the role we have to play in shaping the future. The 70 faculty members gathered for the kick-off followed up with a brainstorming session to describe the state of the liberal arts at Boise State, identifying what they felt were both strengths and areas for improvement in the liberal arts.
The ideas generated are now being used by the faculty steering committee to identify topics for further discussion. Follow up sessions on these topics, to be held throughout the remainder of the academic year, will focus on generating concrete ideas to both address issues that influence the quality of the education we provide to students and to preserve what is already positive about the liberal arts at Boise State.
