According to a study commissioned by Hobart & William Smith Colleges, "Business leaders value liberal arts grads for their critical thinking and problem-solving skills, strong writing and speaking skills, self-discipline, exposure to diverse ideas and global perspective. And they hire them because it makes good sense in a global business environment marked by constant change. Rather than developing a trade good for one particular job, liberal arts graduates develop a broad base of knowledge and skills that prepare them for evolving challenges over the long haul."
Humanities or liberal arts degree holders contribute the solutions to social, business, personal, governmental and environmental problems. King's spirit, message and revolutionary role in society will be reflected in a memorial built on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. The commemorative memorial is expected to be completed by 2008--exactly 60 years from the date Dr. King completed his bachelor of arts degree.
