A HUGE congratulations to our graduates! "It's customary to end on a quote.... : 'The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be ignited.' And I'll just add that our minds have been wildfires." Terra Nova Rubacha, HH101 Valedictorian 2025

From a Talk at Google that Peter Adamson gave back in 2017: "And you don’t cover [female philosophers] because you’re being politically correct, or something, you cover them because they’re there." Join us next week on Wednesday, April 16 to hear how the project has grown since!
