Scholars at Wright
Meeting on one evening each week, leading scholars teach, guide and illuminate the work for students in a lecture setting. Recent programs were explorations of Leaves of Grass, by Walt Whitman, and Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain.
Tuition for the program is kept to a minimum. This allows opportunities for adults continuing their education, Advanced Placement high school students, and college students whose budgets are limited but whose minds are eager. One hour of course credit is given at Wright College.
