150th Anniversary of Phi Beta Kappa At Gamma of Massachusetts (Williams College)

On Wednesday, March 18th 2015 we celebrated the 150th anniversary of Phi Beta Kappa at Williams College with a day of talks and discussions related to the role of liberal arts in learning and the directions education is moving. Below is the schedule of events and links to the talks and slides; for additional details email the Faculty Chapter President, Steven Miller (sjm1@williams.edu). Outside visitors included the national PBK president (Kate Soule) and secretary (John Churchill), the president of the PBK Association of New York (Jacques Ohayon), our visiting scholar (William Arms of Cornell), Ellen Hurwitz (former president of multiple institutions and a senior consultant at Stevens Strategy), and (fittingly remotely) Kathy Pugh, Vice President of Education Services at EdX. We gratefully acknowledge support from the national office and Williams College (especially the Sterling Fund and Dining Services). Click here for a report on the day.
