Reflect on David Foster Wallace’s commencement address. What is the main idea of the speech? What do you think Wallace is trying to tell us about the purpose and value liberal arts education? Do you agree with Wallace? Has your experience as a Liberal Arts major at Ashford done what Wallace says education is supposed to do?
