SUE ROSE SUMMER INSTITUES

The Sue Rose program is an essential program of the Dallas Institute for Humanities and Culture. The immediate purpose of this Sue Rose program is to honor and to rejuvenate teachers, who are significantly undervalued relative to the sacred trust placed in them by our society. Our goal is to engage, renew and nourish the love of learning for its own sake.
