How are Evergreen graduates realizing the worth of their educations in the world? This course approaches this question with a lecture series of Evergreen alums who have successfully combined their Greener dreams with right livelihood. A discussion and reception will follow each guest’s lecture. Speakers will include entrepreneurs, social service professionals, artists, farmers, social justice advocates, educators, and others who found work that has monetary value, personal meaning, ecological sustainability, and social worth. We’ll be asking alumni speakers, “What has proven to be the value of an Evergreen education? How has your Evergreen experience played a part in your professional success? Readings will accompany the speaker series, including William Cronon’s “Only Connect: The Goals of a Liberal Education.”
