University College
Liberal Learning Symposium
With the generous support of the Chancellor, University College hosted a symposium on Liberal Learning for Global Citizens. The symposium began a two-year campus-wide process to assess and revise the University College Core Curriculum.
The symposium was an opportunity
- to learn about current trends and best practices in general education and
- to contribute your expertise to the process of defining goals and outcomes for general education at FSU.
The symposium lasted a half day. It was repeated several times between October 26 and November 19, 2005, to accommodate different schedules.
