Keeping his legacy alive helped me manage my grief. Now, CFU is a part of me. With each passing year I’ve become more personally attached, and my own passion for this mission has deepened. I’ll be honest, keeping the school afloat through recessions and a pandemic has not been easy. I am humbled by the loyalty of my small sta– and appreciate more than I can ever say the sacrifices they make to support the school. And I am awed by all of our instructors who provide outstanding learning opportunities for little or, in some instances, no remuneration. I believe that the spirit of community is what keeps us all onboard. CFU is about people lifting one another up. Instructors with knowledge and expertise generously give their time and talent to empower and enlighten others. Students choose to come together and learn with others, sharing ideas and encouragement. Back in the 70’s when “free universities” began, there was the saying “If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem.” At this time of division and tension in our public life, I believe that CFU is a beautiful part of the solution.
