Bryan Garsten at the Harvard Summit on Excellence in Higher Education

Professor Bryan Garsten
April 15, 2019

Bryan Garsten was an inivited speaker at the Harvard Summit on Excellence in Higher Education.  The summit was a discussion concerning the restoration of confidence in American Higher Education, and reversing the distaste, if not outright hostility, with which the general public perceives higher education today.

Professor Garsten “described a different kind of community engagement—and its startling effect on his own teaching. Having engaged in global outreach in Singapore, he said, he began to wonder about opportunities to extend humanistic learning closer to home.”
