The Carolyn Benton Cockefair Chair in Continuing EducationWhen 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.
