My questions:
1. Why does a liberal arts education benefit students?
2. Why should students be 'innovation ready' rather than 'college ready'? Why is that important?
3. How are liberal arts and innovation related?
3). Innovation is something we've talked about in class and it has been a part of our readings as well. Talking about liberal arts this week, the term innovation came up again. These two terms can be very much related to each other. Nowadays, employers are looking for employees who can bring innovation into the workplace. Why? Because they want to know that you are using your brain in just more ways of doing your specific task at work. They want you to come up with new ideas yourself that can impact the workplace greatly. Liberal arts education can teach you how to take different ideas and incorporate them into your work. As stated in the article "Liberal Arts and the Work Place" by Tim Hall, "a candidate's demonstrated capacity to think critically, communicate clearly, and solve complex problems is more important than their undergraduate major." Employers don't necessarily just look for the specific skills used in the work place, but other skills that can be very beneficial toward them and can also be learned in a liberal arts education. You can use innovation and bring in other skills and thoughts to the work place. Overall, innovation and liberal arts can be easily related to each other. When you have a liberal arts education, you can bring more innovation to not only the work place, but also your life. When you learn all different skills and different subjects, you can learn more about the world, be a smarter person, and contribute lots in the work place!
