The fourth annual summer Best of Acadia week co-sponsored by Acadia Senior College and College of the Atlantic focuses on higher education and public policy and features five distinguished educators, all of whom have also served in national or state positions beyond their current institutions.
One of our presenters addresses public policy directly, outlining his research into ways to resolve issues of poverty in America; another approaches indirectly by commenting on why art should matter. We will also hear some radical ideas for re-shaping higher education, an explanation of how an apparently single-focus college prepares graduates for many different careers, and the ways in which a small nearby college prepares its students to address the largest and most complex global issues.
