The images show various aspects of gender-based violence, including families, a pride flag, a white ribbon, students, and messaging icons. The top left reads “16 Days of Activism Against Gender-based Violence” in purple and white text. In the top right of the image are the words “Come Together, Act Now.” also in white and purple text. The Canada wordmark is in the bottom right corner.

The purpose of liberal arts education is not to build your career. It’s to broaden your mind.
You don’t have to justify a major based on job prospects. The only explanation necessary is “it interests me.”
The true value of college is improving your ability to think and learn.
