Beverly Rodgers (anthropology) and Jean Gregorek (literature) are two of the five Morgan Fellows who have been tasked with building the curriculum for the college to reopen in 2011 and oversee faculty hiring. (Both Beverly and Jean taught at Antioch College and the Nonstop Institute.)

They’re coming to Chicago to discuss their plans, and to find out what you think, asking big questions about the value and relevance of liberal arts in the 21st Century. Antioch has a unique opportunity to apply its historic mission to today’s social needs. They are genuinely seeking alumni input into this process. This is your chance to be heard and offer your contribution to the future of the college.
