Lecture on Reforming Higher Education in Ukraine

[Diana Howansky]

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.
