Vice President's Message
As a young person in my twenties, I thoroughly enjoyed attending college. I was impressed by the interesting and knowledgeable professors who taught each course I selected. It was amazing to extend my horizon into subjects that I always just wondered about. And it was so different to circulate among students I had never seen before. I loved being on campus and absorbing its unique environment, set off from the busy world - it was like dwelling on an oasis. I returned to that prized earlier existence the day I found ICL. Being back in the classroom is a great fit at this stage of our lives. Again, I can pursue my interests across a variety of timely courses taught by experienced instructors. And without the pressure of tests and papers due – a rather heavenly arrangement I must say. While I wasn’t really social back in that day, I now find valued friends with similar interests and all the socializing I wish, both on campus and while attending the special activities ICL sponsors. At this later stage of life I have developed new connections that I cherish.

I was pleasantly surprised by the current semester’s course offerings, taught by both seasoned past instructors and impressive new faces. ICL has certainly developed a repertoire of valuable talent. We are so fortunate to see new instructors step up and share the depth of their experience and insight. Of course, if you really want to learn something, teach it. I have carried an interest in politics and economics over the course of my life, and now ICL has given me a forum to explore this in depth. While my father was an educator, I had never envisioned a teaching role for myself. Like everything ICL, give any of our programs a try - I can assure you that you will find a fit.
