Dr. Mark Schenker
Dr. Mark Schenker, Dean of Academic Affairs at Yale College, was back by popular demand in August to continue the “Literature and Life” series.
Participants are always delighted by Dr. Schenker’s wonderful command of the English language, as well as his enthusiasm, insights and knowledge of the world of literature. This year, the theme was poetry.
The free series was made possible by a grant from Beryl and Roger Leifer.
