Education Now | How College Has Changed — and Should Change
May 4, 2022 2:00 Central
A conversation with Howard Gardner and Wendy Fischman about their comprehensive 8-year study of higher education institutions across the United States. The study — described in their new book The Real World of College — revealed surprising levels of alienation and a too-narrow focus on grades and deliverables. But Gardner and Fischman also chart a clear pathway to rediscovering and embracing the unique mission of higher education — and they’ll share examples of what works and what doesn’t.
