鈥淭he aspect of Taos that I found most enjoyable was the overall environment of the campus. It was possible to easily interact with professors over a shared meal or a run down the mountain. Camaraderie between all students and faculty was easily built. This resulted in an experience that was far less formal and more easily attuned to meaningful and thoughtful conversations.鈥 - Andrew Timmins, Jan 2016 Faculty

"What a GREAT place for adventurous learning! Teaching art history during the 2016 Taos August term was one of the high points of my 30-year teaching career. The students, staff, and faculty colleagues could not have been better and the learning environment was fantastic." - Kathy Windrow, Art History faculty

鈥淚 believe 100% that it is a once in a life time experience for students and that they will learn things there that they could not learn any other way.鈥 Max Gunther, Psychology Faculty
