The Racine Odyssey Project began in October 2003
with the goal of educating the poor and homeless in
the humanities, exposing them to critical thinking,
deep reflection and fuller participation in public
life. Adult students of all ages attended class twice
a week in the evenings to study philosophy, literature,
art/history and American history. Six students graduated.
This year's classes will begin soon. They are free
of charge to qualified students, and are held at Next
Generation Now, with free childcare. Books are also
included. For more information on this year's class,
contact
Chris Beem.
For a copy of the video, including

Vice-Chancellor, Extended Services Director, Center
for Community Partnerships, University of Wisconsin-Parkside,
