Event Description:
Mount Mercy University will offer a unique faculty forum on higher education as Professor of Religious Studies Charlotte Martin, Ph.D., presents “University Education as Trojan Horse for the Common Good.” The event, which is free and open to the public, will be held Thursday, February 23, at 7:00 p.m. in Flaherty Community Room in Basile Hall.
In her lecture, Martin will discuss how today’s society expects colleges and universities to only produce graduates specializing in a career field, and highlights how institutions of higher education can also promote a culture of thoughtfulness and spirit. Martin will help illustrate how colleges can lead graduates to know and cherish the lively intellectual habits that help them realize their best human possibilities while discerning the common good as rightfully governing even professional considerations. An intellect that has been cultivated and refined through a strong learning community has a special facility for unlocking the fullness of the potential in us all.
