  • Update: Book bans and bibles in classrooms
  • Update: Free community college in Massachusetts
  • Update: The value of a liberal arts degree in 2025
  • The impact of the SCOTUS ruling that banned race as a factor in college admissions
  • Teaching and learning using an on-line format
  • Speech on college campuses

Instructor: Susan Starr started professional life teaching elementary school. Unexpectedly, she was recruited by Clark University to teach undergrad and grad students to become elementary school teachers, a job she loved for 20 years. From 1994-2014, she worked with a team of physicians and educators at UMass Medical School in a program that taught educational strategies to doctors who teach med students and residents. Since retirement, she has been helping high achieving/low income (HALI) international students navigate the process of applying to college and succeeding once enrolled.
