Humanities programs are increasingly being called on to demonstrate how academic learning connects to students' futures. To stay relevant and competitive, Humanities programs must help students develop durable skills that translate across careers and industries. Join us for a panel discussion highlighting approaches to career-connected learning, including internships, experiential learning, certificates, and other programs that make the connection between academic study and professional pathways more visible. Panelists will also reflect on strategies for communicating the value of the humanities through marketing, storytelling, and partnerships.
