Kevin Gannon Poster

A.J. Carlson Lecture on the Liberal Arts

Jack Carlson arrived at Austin College as a scholar of early modern European history and grew professionally under the influence of President John D. Moseley to become not only the Dean of Humanities but also one of the College’s leading voices in support of liberal arts education.  Jack’s courageous defense of liberal arts education never weakened despite the many financial pressures confronting the College; on the contrary, the consistency of his voice remained a major influence at the College throughout his long and productive career.

On Thursdays, we have grab and go lunch provided in WCC 245 11-12:30 p.m. and scheduled discussions led by colleagues on specific topics via Zoom. Topics may include evidence-based approaches to teaching and learning, diversity and inclusion, updates on faculty-driven initiatives, and other professional development issues in liberal arts and higher education.
