Biography
Angela C. Bauer is Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost, Texas Woman’s University, USA.
“Angela Bauer has written an enormously positive, thoughtful, well-researched, and practical book about how we can both strengthen and sell the liberal arts. We have long known that the liberal arts teach skills that are valuable in life and work, but we need this book to guide us to revitalize and preserve our core mission.”
José Antonio Bowen, Former Goucher College President and Author of Teaching with AI, Teaching Naked and Teaching Change
“This groundbreaking book invites campus leaders to reimagine and revolutionize liberal education by embedding life skills into the curriculum. Drawing on innovative student-centered learning opportunities and assessments, Bauer offers a compelling roadmap for educators seeking to prepare students not just for careers, but for meaningful, adaptable lives of purpose.”
Lynn Pasquerella, President, American Association of Colleges and Universities
"Practical, tactical, and immediately applicable, this is a timely and essential playbook for those prepping students for the college to career transition. Now more than ever, it’s vital that together, colleges and employers elevate the national conversation on how we define and develop career readiness."
Shawn VanDerziel, President & CEO, National Association of Colleges and Employers
