What is an education for? What does it have to do with real life—not just any life, but a life worth living?
What do you want to be when you grow up? What's your major? What do you want to accomplish professionally? What do you want to do in the world?
These questions—about where you're going and the most effective way to get there—loom large for many students. But where you are going is not nearly as important as who you'll be when you get there.
The Education & the Life Worth Living seminar is about starting your journey at university on the right foot—first things first, by asking the most important questions: Who do you want to become? And how is your college education going to help you become that person?
"I saw in my classmates, from Christian to Atheist to Muslim to Jew, from the agnostic middle to the free-will-denying scientists, a capacity for wonder, love, curiosity, deep reflection, argument, and serendipity."
