Bethany College was
invited to join the conference, which addressed goals of “exploring
new models of the liberal arts to guide undergraduate education in the
21st century,” that was jointly sponsored by Lafayette and Swarthmore
College. Among the other nationally ranked, top-tier institutions
represented were Williams College, Vassar College, Franklin &
Marshall College, Smith College and Bryn Mawr College. Support for the
conference was provided by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Sessions
focused on such topics as economic sustainability of higher education,
emerging trends at liberal arts colleges and opportunities for bold,
non-traditional partnerships.
Dr. Miller has written
extensively on the value, impact and best practices of liberal arts
education, and has moderated or made presentations on the changing
landscape of small private colleges for the Council of Independent
Colleges (CIC) and other associations.
