Lifelong Learning Institute at Waubonsee Community College

Co-Facilitator: Priscilla Gruber

Participants will review higher education and the issues which make it part of current events. How does academic freedom function within a democracy? How much should that freedom be sheltered from the influence of governments and religion? How do we prepare young adults for thoughtful citizenship and future employment? Consider how current political agendas and the banning of ideas impact higher education and put our colleges and students in the news.
