Continuing Education

The Carolyn Benton Cockefair Chair in
Continuing Education
When Carolyn Benton Cockefair left UMKC in 1966, her
former students in the humanities wished to honor her by
perpetuating community involvement in University affairs and
in the humanities. Community-University cooperation led to
the establishment of the Carolyn Benton Cockefair Chair in
Continuing Education in the humanities.
Throughout its existence, many members of the community
have participated in the chair’s lectures, courses and continuing
education programs. Visiting professors, distinguished
speakers and performing artists have also shared with the
community, thanks to the Cockefair Chair. James Michener,
John Kenneth Galbraith, Norman Cousins, Tom Wolfe, John
Gardner, Jean Kirkpatrick, Kurt Vonnegut Jr., Gore Vidal,
Loren Eiseley, Joseph Heller, David McCullough, Saul Bellow
and John Updike are only a few of the chair-sponsored
speakers.
You are cordially invited by the Cockefair Chair Advisory
Committee to participate in the Cockefair Chair courses and
programs. Call (816) 235-2736 for more information.
