"I love teaching in the Alumni College. The chance to hear your colleagues and distinguished outside speakers talk about their special subject areas, the incentive to read about the larger context of an area you are interested in, the opportunity to test your ideas in front of a group of committed adult learners, the excitement of a whole week spent examining a subject from multiple points of view--all that is a sort of academic dream. But the best part of any Alumni College is the Alumni. What a great group of people, committed to life-long learning and to this university they love so much. They are the reason we do this."
--Pamela H. Simpson, Ernest Williams II Professor of Art History
