History

Joanne Page, 1998

Drawing from the long tradition of academic quest on the part of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Women, and anticipating the present concept of continuing education, the founders of the Ban Righ Foundation created an agent of change and of reconciliation, in a single far-reaching throw.

They envisaged the Foundation as a place of intellectual vitality by way of individual accomplishment and mutual encouragement. From their residence experience, they knew that living together, even briefly during the day, promotes familiarity and stability. They held out, then, for the right location and chose a house rather than a series of offices. Perhaps most significantly, they resolved that the Foundation must evolve, as would the 카지노게임사이트 and the profile of the returning student.

Three decades later, the 카지노게임사이트 has indeed changed, as have women카지노 게임 컬렉션�s lives. The institution카지노 게임 컬렉션�s systems have become more regularized, its culture less personal. Tuition has risen. Women, now half the workforce, understand universities as a vehicle for economic advancement as much as personal edification. At a time when social commitment to public education wavers, more women aspire to part-time and full-time admission. As the resources of the administration diminish, the student카지노 게임 컬렉션�s financial burden increases. And, however regrettable, obstacles remain for women returning to education.

The Foundation seeks to reconcile people with place and purpose. Because it is independently housed, because of its obvious and its unexpected links within the academy and the community, because of its history, because it is part of the 카지노게임사이트 and yet it is different, a visiting scholar finds herself comfortably expounding, the new Faculty member voices her fears about tenure, the 카지노게임사이트 staff member wades into a lunch-hour session, a graduate student reveals her research problems, the part-time student gets a toe-hold, a group of forty parents and children enjoy an uproarious supper. The common ground is vast and compelling: thinking, learning.

Striving to be greater than the sum of the parts, the Foundation remains willingly specific in mandate. It is the richness of the parts 카지노 게임 컬렉션� the students and the community they create 카지노 게임 컬렉션� which makes the Foundation work and enables the students to offer their individual contribution as well as simply attend classes. Programming is intentionally responsive and broad. Its processes are interconnected. Routine varies reflecting need. Discussions flourish. The individual is valued. It is the integration of these parts which enables the student to enter university life fully.

Providing a place for women within what can seem a large unknowable structure, the 카지노게임사이트 demonstrates that the complex mix of goals and personal responsibilities which women students continue to bear is of equal importance to, say, an art collection or a skating rink. Students testify that such a place has been of monumental value, the difference between giving up and continuing.

The 카지노게임사이트, by definition, must shape the future through the lens of the academic community. The designers of the Foundation worked with the same lens focused on a human scale; the Foundation카지노 게임 컬렉션�s charge is to, when necessary, go after the future for one person. These are two parts of the whole, and a wise institution secures both.

As evidence of the visionary largess of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Women, the Foundation continues to urge students towards a deep and personal attachment to education. In partnership with the 카지노게임사이트, it is, by foresight and rarity, a resource and an investment which distinguishes Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s from other universities across the country.
