[Central-md-chapter] Upcoming Hadley seminars

[Brenda Mueller]

Yes, years ago I took French, German, Spanish, and English grammar and writing courses from Hadley.  Recently I downloaded a copy of the Hadley course catalogue; what a disappointment.  The language department was gone, and there were no advanced math courses.  How its standards seem to have fallen.  As you know I worked as a Spanish linguist for 31 years at NSA.  Enjoy the seminar for what it's worth.

In addition to the classes they provide free seminars through the internet. There are two very interesting seminars coming out that may interest most of you.

Special guests Kathy Claus, professional storyteller and author; Kristen Witucki, the curriculum and content editor for Learning Ally’s College Success Program; and Susan Kennedy, a legal assistant and travel blogger, will share how they balance braille and technology in their everyday lives.
