ACC hosts the Teagle Foundation for Cornerstone: Learning for Living initiative from Wednesday, October 23, through Thursday, October 24, at the ACC Highland Campus. The conference will showcase ACC’s Great Questions Seminars.
The convening grantees are from two—and four-year institutions across the country. The convening will showcase ACC’s Great Questions Seminars and provide a forum for faculty leaders to share strategies that strengthen the role of the humanities in general education.
The conference program is free for all attendees. Click here to register. The deadline is Monday, October 7.
ACC is one of the schools leading the charge through the Great Questions Seminar program. The unique college readiness course, supported by a generous Teagle Foundation grant, is an alternative to the traditional EDUC 1300 Student Success course. Instead of standard textbooks and classroom materials, the seminar focuses on discussion-based learning centered around transformative texts.
Another Event
On Wednesday, October 2, at 1 p.m, ACC faculty member and founder of the Great Questions program, Ted Hadzi-Antich Jr., will join a panel of experts for a virtual forum to explore the true state of the humanities. The forum also aims to dismantle myths about employment prospects for humanities majors, as data shows their unemployment rate is similar to other college graduates, at around 3 percent.
