INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- What makes a college or university attractive to prospective students? Selectivity and top national ranking seem to be popular reasons for choosing a college, but they have little impact on the educational and life skills gained by students while at college, according to a national study conducted by Wabash College's Center of Inquiry in the Liberal Arts (CILA).

The Wabash National Study will be featured at a national conference at the Indiana State Museum on Sept. 17. The conference, "Celebrating the Value of Liberal Arts Education," will highlight several speakers from all over the country who will present on topics ranging from academics to entrepreneurship. Among the presenters are Angie Hicks Bowman, co-founder of Angie's List; Clay Robbins, president and director of the Lilly Endowment; and Stephen Ferguson, chairman of the board for Cook Group.
