Kalamazoo College June 14–16, 2011 [ Welcome ] elcome to Kalamazoo College and the twenty-third annual Wconference of the Consortium of Liberal Arts Colleges. We are delighted to host this annual opportunity for engaged conversation, discussion, learning, and fellowship. Kalamazoo, Michigan, is earning growing recognition as an education community. We are home to the “Kalamazoo Promise,” which provides all city public high school graduates up to 100 percent of tuition at any of Michigan’s public colleges, universities, or community colleges. Last June, Kalamazoo Central High School won the Race to the Top High School Commencement Challenge, and President Barack Obama delivered the school’s commencement address. And of course, Kalamazoo is home to three great institutions of higher education: Kalamazoo College, Western Michigan University, and Kalamazoo Valley Community College. Kalamazoo College, founded in 1833, is the oldest institution of higher learning in the State of Michigan, and among the 100 oldest institutions in the country. For more than forty years, it has offered a nationally- recognized curriculum called the “K” Plan, an undergraduate experience of rigorous liberal arts scholarship combined with a strong focus on experiential education. • More than two thirds of students complete an internship or externship • More than 85 percent of students participate in a meaningful, extended, immersive international and intercultural experience abroad LCOME • Over half of students participate in service-learning projects • All students engage in a Senior Individualized Project – a e research or creative project done in the senior year. “K” students have demonstrated outstanding performance on the Collegiate Learning Assessment, the best current measure of student W outcomes in critical thinking, analytical reasoning, and writing. We do more in four years so that students can do more in a lifetime. Our conference theme: It’s a Zoo Out There!, refers to the challenges of an ever-changing and unpredictable IT landscape. I hope that your stay in the area is enjoyable and that interaction with the other attendees provides you insight and connections to enrich your work. Welcome to Kalamazoo College and CLAC 2011!

Choice enhances freedom, and enables people to get exactly what they want. This is a perfectly reasonable assumption. Reasonable, but false. Paradox Number One is that when people have too much choice, they become paralyzed rather than liberated, they make bad decisions, and they are dissatisfied even when they make good decisions.
