Welcome to the club: Education more than just going to class

Blake Muse June 4, 2013
Education is not “just going to class,” according to Matthew Park, associate vice president of Student Affairs. “Education means a lot more that just knowing what they read and learned in the book,” he said. “We want [students] to be responsible human beings who can communicate and who can think, who can work with a group. And some of those areas, I don’t think you necessarily learn in the traditional classroom environment. You can learn those in co-curriculum experiences as well. It’s a positive thing when students get involved, meaning they find something that they are passionate and interested in, and they pursue it.”
