A Liberal Arts Education

My alma mater, Trinity College in Hartford, CT, has been named to LinkedIn‘s inaugural Top 50 Colleges list, ranking #42 nationally and #4 among liberal arts colleges.  This ranking recognizes schools that “best set their graduates up for long-term career success, looking at real alumni outcomes like job placement rates, career advancement, and professional network strength.”

I make this point not to brag, but only to support my position that a liberal arts education actually does set the student up for success in their chosen vocation.  Give a young person four years to ponder the great questions that have been eating at humankind for thousands of years, and good things can happen.
