Today’s conversation brings together two of our partner institutions as we take a look at the ways a liberal arts education creates pathways to professional or graduate programs. Adam Sapp, Assistant Vice President & Director of Admissions at Pomona College, and Alex DiAddezio, Senior Assistant Director of Admissions at Williams College, bring their 13+ combined years of experience working with veterans and transfer students to shed light on the many opportunities veterans have at liberal arts institutions. In this episode, we dive into the flexible & adaptable design of a liberal arts education, what a liberal arts education is & what it is not, career pathways, and more!
