Breakfast with Eckerd College

11/21/2014

Recently, I had the opportunity to share a breakfast conversation with Donald R. Eastman, the President of Eckerd College,  and John Sullivan, the school's Vice President for Enrollment Management.   The two administrators spent a good deal of time talking about the kinds of kids who thrive at Eckerd -- independent-minded students (think purple hair) who are not afraid to step outside of the box.  I especially appreciated President Eastman's thoughtful comments about the value of a liberal arts education.  While he made clear that Eckerd does all it can to help students prepare for the professional world, he also emphasized the essential  value of the liberal arts in teaching students how to read and write critically and to think for themselves -- skills that all employers value.  Kudos to President Eastman.
