Our view: MUW program offers opportunities for those wanting to expand their knowledge
Henry Ford, one of the great pioneers of the Industrial Age, once said, “anyone who stops learning is old, whether at 20 or 80. Anyone who keeps learning stays young.”
MUW’s Life Enrichment Program continues to grow
Three years ago, a friend of Pam Cunningham’s took a yoga course.
The course was part of the Life Enrichment Program at the Mississippi University For Women’s Center for Creative Learning, and Cunningham decided to give it a try, too. The experience stuck.
Bean speaks about Center for Creative Learning Initiatives
It was 2004, and Dr. Claudia Limbert was president of Mississippi University for Women. She strode into Dr. Suzanne Bean’s office and asked her what she would do with a million dollars. The question seemed preposterous, but Limbert wasn’t kidding — a federal grant was available from the U.S. Department of Education, and Limbert wanted Bean to chase it. Bean called her husband and told him she would be working late. Then she sequestered herself behind her desk and carefully wrote out a proposal that would win the grant and lead to the creation of the Roger F. Wicker Center for Creative Learning.
