Adam Mickiewicz University

Saturday morning we visited Professor Agnes' graduate class. Sam presented to the group on Hope House, and Cathy and Lori presented on Stress and Burnout in the field of Corrections.



We were able to have dialog with the students, many of whom are working as teachers, volunteer probation officers, etc. about what we do. The students seemed to find the information engaging, and found the information new and helpful. After our presentations, Professor Wieslaw Ambrozik, Professor Agnes and two students took us on a tour of the university campus. There are 50 buidings that are a part of the university, five of which were on the campus we were on today. We visited their library and saw their lecture halls.



Professor Ambrozik shared with us some of his experiences teaching and living in the Communist Era. We hope to interview him in more depth on this subject next week.



This university division has a very active Student Association. We were impressed to learn that some of the students have been able to present at conferences internationally, and have well formed ideas for future research.
