Dr. Ellen Lagemann invites undergraduate students to a conversation very
germane to your experience, about expectations surrounding college attendance.
Dr. Lagemann proposes a discussion of questions such as Why are you in college?
Should all people go to college? Does going to college entail special
responsibilities you owe to your families? your society? anybody else?
This is a unique opportunity to think about your college experience from a new
perspective. Dr. Lagemann is a leading Harvard historian of education and a
nationally known expert on education research. You may also want to attend her President’s lecture at 4:00, on “Education
and Public Enterprise: A Necessary Relationship?”
