What Does it Mean to be Wise?

Seeking Wisdom at the Public University

Friday, November 20, 2026: We all know that the university is meant to be a place of learning. It is meant to equip people with knowledge and skill for meaningful work.  And yet, is there more to life than having a good job? And in a world where the advancement of AI brings ever more uncertainty, is mere knowledge and skill enough? What is needed to flourish as human beings in our distracted, anxious, and contentious world? What if what we’re really looking for is wisdom? 

Seating is limited, so please RSVP by November 19th.
