The recent national report "The Heart of the Matter: The Humanities and Social Sciences for a Vibrant, Competitive, and Secure Nation,"commissioned by a bipartisan group of legislators and prepared by the American Academy of Arts & Sciences’ Commission on the Humanities and Social Sciences, continues to spur dialogue on the importance of the humanities to the future of our nation.
Dr. Jim Salvucci, Dean of The School of Humanities & Social Sciences at Stevenson University, offers this reflection of how the humanities bring meaning to our lives.
