‘Trained for life, not just for work’
The great argument for a liberal arts education is that it can train a person for life, not just for work.
This was the message from the the Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, at the inaugural graduation ceremony of Sydney’s Campion College last week.
Twelve young men and women received their degrees for Bachelor of Arts in the Liberal Arts in the Great Hall of the University of Sydney on Friday, December 5.
The Member for Blaxland, Jason Clare, represented Mr Rudd. (The Prime Minister had been unable to attend because of the late sitting of Parliament).
Mr Clare delivered the PM’s comments and also presented each graduate with a personal letter of congratulations from Mr Rudd. His message included his endorsement of the importance of a liberal arts education and the Government’s strong support for initiatives like Campion College.
“It's often said today that education is the pathway to opportunity,” Mr Rudd’s message said.
