Scholars at Wright is a unique educational program designed to expose students of all ages to the great works of literature. Students are guided in  their studies by the pre-eminent scholars of today. Scholars at Wright has  been in operation for twelve years and has received an initial mini-grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Illinois Humanities Council. To view a list of the past books taught, please click the Books link.  A list of lecturing professors and their Curriculum Vitae may  be found in the Professors listing.
 

Meeting on one evening each week, leading scholars teach, guide and illuminate the work for students in a lecture setting.  Recent programs were explorations of Leaves of Grass, by  Walt Whitman and Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain. 

Tuition for the program is kept to a minimum. This allows opportunities for adults continuing their education, Advanced Placement  high school students, and college students whose budgets are  limited but whose minds are eager.
