I loved the variety of speakers who were all well intertwined. Stimulating material, talks and ideas.

Homer’s Odyssey in a Global Context

Each Presenter set the atmosphere for the next Presenter. Well versed but approachable as if we were in a university class.

What does Religion have to do with Democracy?

The professors were SUPERB. It is so wonderful, as a teacher, to observe master teachers in action. The professors were able to answer all of our questions and provided so many student-centered activities.
