Ed Hundert on Arts One: Surviving The Bonfire of the Humanities (Alumni Weekend 2007 Presentation 3/6)

Summary: Arts One, begun in 1967 as an experimental seminar- and tutorial- based program in the humanities, quickly became an established institution at UBC, one chosen by some of the university’s most promising and academically successful first-year students….but can it survive? Professor Hundert, an Arts One veteran professor of more than 12 years and past director of the program will explore how Arts One fits – or doesn’t fit – into the transformed academic environment of a research-based university. (A special Alumni Weekend 2007 presentation sponsored by UBC Alumni Affairs, originally presented on 15-Sep-2007)
