Andrew Delbanco, author of College: What It Was, Is, and Should Be and director of American studies and the Julian Clarence Levi Professor in the Humanities at Columbia University, will speak about the history and future of the American college. He will explain why a college education is important in helping people reach their potential and become engaged with the world around them.
His talk, which is free and open to the public, will be held Thursday, Oct. 2, at 4:30 p.m. in the Wolstein Research Building auditorium.
