As a special feature this year, we invite the campus community to join us for an evening of conversation as we explore the question “What is the purpose of higher education, and how do we get there?” Knowledgeable provocateurs will speak briefly on the night’s topic to be quickly followed by small and large group audience participation. After the provocateurs have 'provoked', the session will turn into lively small discussions followed by a period of questions and responses. We hope you will join us for an evening of provocative thought/conversation.
