" Graduate Forum was a fantastic experience. It allowed me to foster by deep interests in other fields without feeling that I can only get that from a digest version of the New York Times article. It made me think about a number of subjects, just as any good article does, but in the Graduate Forum, this was substantiated by the perpetrator of the action and respectfully examined by other members. It created a superior setting to any known to me, where truly academic thought was let lose. Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!! "
