Tomorrow:

Olena Dzhedzhora, a Fulbright Scholar from Ukrainian Catholic University 
in Lviv, Ukraine, will present the lecture:

“From Total Knowledge to Liberating Arts: The American Experience in 
Light of Reforming Higher Education in Ukraine"

The Core Curriculum at Columbia University is not only one of the oldest 
and most famous liberal arts education programs in the United States,  but
has also outlived the collapsed Soviet education system. What is the 
reason for the long life of the Columbia Core Curriculum? What caused  its
stability? And how might the U.S. system of education be relevant to 
Ukraine -- a country which is discovering itself and its place in the 
global community -- as the role of universities in this discovery  process
is being discussed?

When: Wednesday, April 13 at 12pm
Where: Room 1219, International Affairs Building, Columbia University, 
420 W. 118th St.
