Paideia Professors play a vital role as faculty mentors in helping students make intentional connections among their classroom and out-of-classroom experiences in ways that encourage them to reflect on what they learned and how they grew through each experience. Such reflection supports what liberal arts study aims to do: encourage students to become critical thinkers and broaden their perspective on the world around them. Paideia Professors guide and assist each student in the formulation of a series of experiences-collaborative research and creative works, intercultural experiences, leadership and service-learning-that will best complement the students' academic pursuits.
