Liberal Arts Colleges Must Embed Career Services Throughout Campus Life

Denison College (OH) President Adam Weinberg writes: Colleges are facing a crisis of faith: high costs, the emergence of artificial intelligence, and a range of other issues threaten to make the prospect of higher education less appealing to students. Part of the solution to reestablishing trust and demonstrating value is for colleges — particularly liberal arts institutions — to revamp approaches to career readiness.  For years, leaders of liberal arts colleges have argued the education their institutions offer is valuable in and of itself. The liberal arts teach students how to think and problem-solve — qualities that can propel them to success in any career.
