“Page 2, part iii, line 4a - continued more fully in civic life. The charleston clemente course began in 2005 with the vision of dr. Mary ann kohli, an english instructor at trident technical college. It was modeled on the clemente course of dr. Earl shorris at bard college in new york. Over the past 15 years more than 300 students have completed at least one semester of the course, some of them going on to earn college degrees. It has been a life-changing event in the life of every student in the course. In 2019 the charleston clemente course offered an additional veterans class funded by a national endowment for the humanities grant and another class at macdougall correctional institution. The primary goal of fund raising for the southern clemente alliance is to cover the tuition, fees, books, and a meal before each class for all students enrolled in the clemente course at trident technical college. We also have enough resources to offer a veterans' course each year. The clemente alliance also supports the clemente program with community partnerships, recruiting students, advocacy, and policy guidance. The vision of the clemente course and the southern clemente alliance is based on the conviction that by studying the humanities, individuals who have been denied access to economic, cultural and social opportunities develop the critical, reflective, and creative skills that empower them to work effectively toward improving their own lives and those of their families and communities.”
