Calling all students and young professionals from all communities, backgrounds and interests to share experiences and opinions on what they would want their peers to know now about why, how and where the arts and humanities can play a foundational and transformative role in their educations and career opportunities.

• How would you answer the perennial question: “What are you going to do with that major”?
• If you were a high school student again, what would you have wanted to know about the value of gaining a degree or taking classes in the arts and humanities before you started college or entered a professional school?

As a young professional (in any field), what would you like to share about the powerful and perhaps unusual role of the arts and humanities in your work?
