MASTER THE POSSIBILITIES
Life Long Learning – "Lighting a Fire"
“Education is not filling a bucket, but the lighting of a fire.” This quotation from Yeats points out the true nature of Master the Possibilities. There are times that education prepares or trains us for careers. There are times that education is instructional. While life long learning certainly does this, our brand is more inspirational. Indeed we have shown that learning does “light a fire” that serves us well throughout life.
As we begin our fifth year, choose from over 250 classes offered during the winter semester including:
-
“Discovering Our Legacy” – an Archeological Field School with a 6-week program combining classroom time and a “dig” right here on our property
-
Conductor’s Corner…with Maestro Wardell of the Ocala Symphony Orchestra
-
Visiting Scholar Series featuring Dr. Vincent Boudreau – Director of the Colin Powell Center for Policy Studies, Dr. Kris Boudreau – Dean of Arts & Social Studies at Worchester Polytechnic, Suzy Allman – Professional Sports and Features Photographer for the New York Times, Dr. Patrick Keane – Professor Emeritus of English at LeMoyne College
