Education
I completed four degrees at
Syracuse University, in Syracuse, New York: a Bachelor's Degree, two
Master's Degrees, and a Doctorate. The Ed.D. was awarded in 1958.
Research and
Scholarly Interests
I am primarily concerned
with continuing education of adults. Current scholarly interests are
focused on comparative adult education, continuing education leadership,
on helping adults learn, evaluation, and promotion of faculty members.
