President’s greetings Dear Friends, Since 1875 Park University has committed significant resources and energy to providing an outstanding liberal arts and sciences education for its students. The studies at Park continue to be infused with academic attentiveness to produce student-learning outcomes that provide the knowledge and skills to meet the challenges encountered in a complicated and globally connected civilization. Even as the debate of a comprehensive liberal education versus an education focused on narrow training rages in higher education, Park’s founding liberal arts education remains an unwavering mission on which true leadership abilities are sculpted. The testament of measure comes from Park’s outstanding alumni through the years who demonstrate their leadership and abilities to think critically in their respective national and international workplace settings. In this issue of Park University Magazine we have included a variety of current snapshots demonstrating the meaningful ways that liberal education at Park continues to be successfully threaded into the Park curriculum for all its students. Best Regards,
