Courageous Learning: William Patrick

Bill Patrick, director of the NYS Summer Young Writers Institute at Skidmore, has a new book coming out: Courageous Learning: Finding a New Path through Higher Education, an exploration of the brave new world of adult education and online learning. The book was written with Excelsior College President John Ebersole.

A launch party and signing will be held at The Book House of Stuyvesant Plaza on Wednesday, December 14 at 7:00 pm. Light refreshments will be served.

"Our nation is facing a great education crisis, and if we fail to respond quickly and seriously, we can expect our economy to grow weaker and our standard of living to decline. Courageous Learning is for those adults who, seeking to face this challenge, are considering returning to school, either to finish an undergraduate degree or to start a graduate one."
