[Air-L] Major "Student As Scholar" Blog Entries

[McKiernan, Gerard [LIB]]

Colleagues/
 
I'm pleased to inform you of several major additions to the "Student As Scholar" Blog
 
The "Student As Scholar" blog is devoted to documenting relevant literature that supports the view that : "Undergraduate education should adopt the "Student as Scholar" Model throughout the curriculum, where scholar is conceived in terms of an attitude, an intellectual posture, and a frame of mind derived from the best traditions of an engaged liberal arts education."
