With support from the James S. Kemper Foundation, CIC held "Business and the Liberal Arts: Integrating Professional and Liberal Education," a symposium on the relationship of the liberal arts to business on May 3-5, 2007 in Chicago, IL. The goal of the symposium was to identify best practices among CIC member institutions in programs that combine a sound liberal arts education with preparation for careers in business.
