Intellectual Leadership in the Liberal Arts

Sponsored by The American Conference of Academic Deans and The Phi Beta Kappa Society and hosted by the College of Charleston
October 23-25, 2003
Charleston, SC

Academic leaders committed to the liberal arts are often erudite and passionate in examining, debating, reforming and reaffirming the ideas and ideals of liberal education. As they well know, intellectual leadership is crucial for its continued flourishing — and, in some cases, survival. In this unprecedented collaboration, the American Conference of Academic Deans is partnering with Phi Beta Kappa, the nation’s preeminent undergraduate honors organization, to provide academic leaders with the opportunity to reflect on the many intellectual issues that they face as they advocate for the liberal arts.
