Inspirational lecturers inspired a lifelong love of learning

1977…a young mum (baby in the VUW creche), left school at 13, nervously made my way to an Education 101 lecture. Lucky enough to have Jack Shallcrass as a lecturer. No notes, no PowerPoint…just an inspirational, compassionate and knowledgeable man talking about a subject he was passionate about. He opened my mind and inspired a lifelong love of learning. Similar experience the year before learning Hebrew at night classes with Lloyd Geering. So lucky!
