3/28 - Athenaeum at 1pm - What Winona State has Taught Me by President Ramaley

03/28 - Athenaeum - What Winona State has Taught Me



Please join us on Wednesday, March 28, at 1pm for "What Winona State has Taught Me" presented by Judith Ramaley.


In his recent book, The Social Animal, David Brooks writes that, "We become who we are in conjunction with other people becoming who they are." One of the major challenges facing higher education today is to enhance our relevance and connectedness to the issues and problems that deeply concern the broader society we serve. At the same time, as a community of learners, we can explore and model what it means to draw upon the talents and interests of every member of our community to create a sustainable and democratic way of academic life. President Ramaley will reflect on what she has learned about building a sense of shared purpose and about how to foster deep engagement between the university and the communities it serves.



The Library Athenaeum is located on the second floor, bluff side of the Darrell W. Krueger Library. For additional information about the Athenaeum, please visit the following: http://www.winona.edu/library/athenaeum/
