Humanity in Perspective

 

HIP is a free college humanities course for adults who do not have a college degree and who face financial barriers to continuing their education. Students read and discuss everything from Greek tragedies and philosophy to modern poetry and plays, experiencing new ideas and new ways of seeing themselves and the world. The course is taught by college faculty and meets twice a week in the evenings.

Humanity in Perspective's 10th Class Graduates

Humanity in Perspective (HIP), Oregon Humanities’ free college humanities course for low-income adults, will graduate its tenth class at Reed College’s Vollum Lounge, 3203 SE Woodstock Ave., Portland, at 3:00 p.m. on April 10, 2011. The ceremony and reception to follow are free and open to the public.

Kim Stafford, poet, essayist, and professor at Lewis & Clark College, will deliver the commencement address.

The 2011 class of fifteen brings the total number of graduates since 2001 to one hundred and fourteen. Another thirty-five students have completed one semester of the two-semester course, which is taught by Reed College professors. A second course, taught in Salem by Willamette University faculty, was launched in 2009. HIP students have gone on to study at Portland Community College, Portland State University, and Marylhurst University.
