Welcome back to Yeah, I Got an F#%*ing Job With a Liberal Arts Degree! Join Cal Poly Humboldt Dean Jeff Crane as he interviews a range of guests about the value of the liberal arts and higher education as a personal and public good. As always, please subscribe to the show, and listen and share the podcast with your circles and beyond.
This week's guest is John Vincenti, a New York City based attorney and alumnus of Columbia University. John was deeply impacted by the liberal arts curriculum as a student and is still involved in Columbia College's Mini-Core classes. From their website, the Mini-Core classes "encourages small-class dialogue among generations of alumni and offers participants a new perspective on an enduring topic, much like the famed Core Curriculum that all College students experience." It is clear from this conversation how much John values the humanities as a way to provide a grounding form of enrichment in his day to day life.
This is the last of seven episodes that we have released over the course of the past three months featuring interviews that were conducted while we were on campus at Columbia University in early April of 2024. We spoke with a range of faculty and some students about their experience working and learning within the storied core curriculum at Columbia College. Check out our first four episodes from this series with Dr. Richard John, Dr. Meredith Gamer, Dr. Clémence Boulouque, and students Avi Adler and Marwan Kanafani and Mrinalini Wadhwa, and Jennifer Rhodes.
