Abstract
This panel will explore the connections between Liberal Education and Intellectual Freedom through the creative and integrative perspectives of six Liberal Studies majors. Our experiences both in traditional and non-traditional forms of education and our individual and interdisciplinary ways of knowing have created a system of values, creativity, respect for diversity and reflective practice that we want to share with the GVSU community. After presenting our unique ways of understanding liberal education, we hope to engage the audience in a dialogue about the importance of liberal education and of being an engaged, global citizen in the 21st century.
