Healthy Tension

I'll add below a list of what I'll call "marketing" points for this new division--what students "get" that will help them in later life. But I am wary of presenting a public face that does not reflect at least something like reality. But perhaps my suggestions will be broad enough to discuss as an outward representation, while we continue to discuss our own sense of distinctions/values.

critical and dialectical thinking/intellectual development

writing

contextualization of the present culture through study of shared (past) cultural references

self-expression / self-knowledge / A&H as a mirror

life-long learning fundamentals

part of a rich, full life!
