| The Mahwah Museum will host an online program, Life at Ramapo College in the 1970’s: Faculty Perspectives, on Saturday, November 14th at 11:00 am. Founding members of the Ramapo College’s faculty and staff will describe their experiences, the obstacles they overcame, and the creative ways they launched a progressive curriculum. This virtual program is open to the public in a Zoom format.
“College in 1970 was nothing like it is today,” former student Craig LaCaruba remembered. “We were taught by nontraditional professors, hippies, free thinkers, and creative individuals. Professors were involved in life outside of academics. They were set designers from Broadway, actors, artists, economists, and financial people from Wall Street. These were the people teaching us. They were dynamic individuals.”
The program’s participants are Dr. Eddie Saiff, Professor of Biology and Dean of the School of Theoretical and Applied Science, Dr. Clifford Peterson, retired professor of international politics, and Nancy Mackin Robinson, Dean of Students (retired). Afterwards, Ramapo College alumni and staff will be invited to share their experiences and talk about the professors that they remember. Attendees are welcome to ask questions.
