Abstract

"Great Thinkers Day" is a day-long multidisciplinary event and an innovative active learning experience that involved an entire college community. This essay describes my experience with planning, organizing, and executing this event, including both the benefits and difficulties I experienced putting the day into action. I also share my thoughts on how I might do things differently the next time. The potential for an exciting, interactive, and integrative day is inexhaustible. The main criteria for success are sound planning and organizational work at the beginning executed with the help of a good support staff.
