Faculty, administrators, staff, postdoctoral researchers and graduate students across the UT System are invited to join this monthly webinar series that explores the enduring value of the core curriculum, and the foundational scholarly skills students gain through it.
Created by the UT System Academy of Distinguished Teachers and UT System Educational Developers, the sessions will highlight how the core curriculum prepares graduates to adapt and thrive in an ever-changing workplace and society. The webinar series will affirm the power of higher education to future-proof our students while deepening the impact of teaching and learning.
Sept. 11 Session: What is the Value of Higher Education?
Dr. Brent Iverson of UT Austin and Dr. Catherine Ross of UT Tyler will discuss the increased value of a broad education in an era when our graduates are entering a dynamic workplace that will force many, if not most, to change their careers multiple times. The sometimes-neglected skills and experiences associated with the core curriculum will almost certainly take on additional importance during these inevitable transitions.
