“Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young.” – Henry Ford

Students are assigned additional readings, viewings, and assignments to do each week on their own which help inform the next synchronous class session. Most seminars and workshops are 4 weeks in length and all are graded and transcripted with ‘CA’ for Completed Attendance.
