Register Today for "What Society Needs from the Higher Education Classroom”
Join us Thursday, Feb. 22 from 4-6 p.m. for a presentation by Bryan Dewsbury, Associate Professor of Biological Science at Florida International University. Enjoy light refreshments in Cornerstone Main Space from 4-5 p.m. before heading to the lecture in Celeste Theatre from 5-6 p.m.
Dewsbury’s talk, "What Society Needs from the Higher Education Classroom,” will explore how institutions of higher education can be more than just vehicles for social and economic promotion. For the democratic ideals of society to be realized, they must be spaces that are connected to, respectful of, and in community with the society they pledge to serve. Dewsbury will discuss the challenges and possibilities associated with this view, and the role that each of us can play in ensuring the viability and sustainability of this relationship.
This talk is generously supported through the Harold D. and Rhoda N. Roberts Memorial Lecture in the Natural Sciences endowment, which supports and enhances the teaching of science at CC.
