Over recent years, the disciplines currently known as STEMM (science, technology, engineering, math, and medicine) have suggested we return to more holistic paradigms in higher ed, specifically those that include the humanities, arts, and social sciences. Today, at Georgia Tech, we had fascinating exchanges between and among colleagues from the Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts and across our campus. An exhilarating experience for me as organizer and moderator. So grateful to everyone who participated, and we will follow up in the future months.
