An event this week captures the essence of adult higher education here at GSC. At our Rochester NH College, our ENG 555, Children's Literature class hosted well known New Hampshire author and poet, Marie Harris. For those of us highly invested in adult college classes, the energy and enthusiasm from the the interaction between students and Marie was incredible.
I have a great appreciation for all New Hampshire colleges and universities, but when you combine small seminar-style classes, the ability to meet and talk with former NH Poet Laureates, all through evening college classes, it adds up to a unique teaching and learning environment. We of course have adult online degrees, and yes, affordable Bachelors degrees, but there is something particular about this NH State College. I observed a particular dynamic between this noted children's book author and the students in Children's Literature. The questions, the intent look on each face, and the transformation of something abstract to something alive is why Granite State College is the college for lifelong learning, and the center of adult education.
