The Council of Independent Colleges (CIC) recently launched its public website, Power of Liberal Arts. It is the most recent initiative of CIC’s public information campaign, Securing America’s Future: The Power of Liberal Arts Education. It complements the @SmartColleges Twitter Feed (which has more than 2,600 followers) as well as the SmartColleges Facebook page and LiberalArtsPower YouTube channel.

The new website, which includes the list of CIC member institutions, is aimed at high school students, their parents, and high school guidance counselors. The content corrects myths and misconceptions about the liberal arts and private colleges and universities and will help high school students and those who influence them to make more informed decisions about where they should apply and ultimately decide to attend college.

And the new website as a K presence. Two distinguished K grads — Steven Yeun and Julie Mehretu — describe in their own works the power of the liberal arts experience at K.
