“The Fellowship in Ideas program provided me with a rare opportunity to explore beloved texts, survey the philosophies and motivations of great authors, and apply newly-acquired understandings to my own creative process. I delighted at having my worldview challenged every step of the way! This year was all about encountering new ways of thinking, piecing together information in a manner that is new to me, and forging new friendships. This experience was lifechanging and will surely persist well beyond year’s end.”
