The Institute Podcast
The Institute for the Arts and Humanities empowers faculty to achieve their full potential by creating community and cultivating leadership. At the heart of this mission is the affirmation of the crucial value of the arts and humanities to the life of the university and the world. The Institute Podcast engages in conversations with faculty, program directors, and guest scholars about their work in teaching, service and research. We learn the makings of successful leaders across disciplines. And we share this with you. The owl tops Hyde Hall, our Franklin Street home.
