Instructors Testimonials

Brad Lunsford
Business Law Instructor

"It is a great privilege to be in a classroom with students who value self-improvement. Their enthusiasm for learning and their desire to achieve their goals is inspiring. My adult students want more than just a grade. They want to succeed. They know that their lives will be improved with the help of Penn State's Continuing and Distance Education program."

Harry Zimbler
Theatre Arts Instructor

"I have great respect for my adult students' determination to fit their education around busy, hectic lives, and the experience they bring to the classroom is a wonderful enriching asset to the entire class."

Yasmine Villuendes
Spanish Instructor

"It is tremendously rewarding to teach at a respected university and help students pursue their educational goals. I think the Continuing Education program does a wonderful job; classes are smaller and more personal, and many people are there to broaden their horizons and learn, not just get a degree. Consequently, it is a joy for me to work for a program that is activity engaged in providing educational opportunities for everybody."

Elizabeth Wilson
Art History Instructor

"I love having returning adult students in my classes, as they provide insightful observations, ask interesting questions, break the ice for the younger, traditional students, and exhibit a curiosity that is contagious for their classmates. This is an ideal teaching situation. I learn a great deal from my students, and they enrich the classroom environment for everyone."
