Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Redesigning liberal education requires both pragmatic approaches to
discover what works and radical visions of what is possible. The
future of liberal education in the United States, in its current
form, is fraught but full of possibility. Today's institutions are
struggling to maintain viability, sustain revenue, and assert value
in the face of rising costs. But we should not abandon the model of
pragmatic liberal learning that has made America's colleges and
universities the envy of the world. Instead, Redesigning Liberal
Education argues, we owe it to students to reform liberal education
in ways that put broad and measurable student learning as the
highest priority. Written by experts in higher education, the book
is organized into two sections. The first section focuses on
innovations at 13 institutions: Brown University, College of the
Holy Cross, Connecticut College, Elon University, Florida
International University, George Mason University, Georgetown
University, Lasell College, Northeastern University, Rollins
College, Smith College, Susquehanna University, and the University
of Wisconsin-Green Bay. Chapters about these institutions consider
the vast spectrum of opportunities and challenges currently faced
by students, faculty, staff, and administrators, while also
offering "radical visions" of the future of liberal education in
the United States. Accompanying vision chapters written by some of
the foremost leaders in higher education touch on a wide array of
subjects and themes, from artificial intelligence and machines to
the role that human dispositions, mindsets, resilience, and time
play in how we guide students to ideas for bringing playful
concepts of creativity and openness into our work. Ultimately,
Redesigning Liberal Education reveals how humanizing forces,
including critical thinking, collaboration, cross-cultural
competencies, resilience, and empathy, can help drive our world.
This uplifting collection is a celebration of the innovative work
being done to achieve the promise of a valuable, engaging, and
practical undergraduate liberal education. Isis Artze-Vega, Denise
