Maddux came from a small town in Idaho—then found a world of new perspectives in Chicago. 🌍

That’s the power of the Great Connections Seminar: meeting people who change how you think about life.

@timurkuran That’s a really good outcome because face to face teaching in small classes where the student is actually paid attention returns superior outcomes.

I run Socratic seminars of Great Books texts using Zoom in which we do close reading and most attendees are startled to find out what they’ve missed when they read the assigned texts.

I always print mine out to read and prepare, although we use the text online for reference during the discussion.

@RaymondALopez Sure can!

What if one week could transform the way you think, learn, and connect with others? 🌆📚

For this student, the Great Connections Seminar wasn’t just an academic experience—it was an adventure through philosophy and through Chicago.

✨ She discovered a love for abstract, challenging ideas
✨ She explored the city with new friends
✨ She learned how to have real Socratic discussions
✨ And she grew from “rambling” on day one to 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 insightful conversations by the end

That’s the power of spending a weekend (or a week!) immersed in deep thinking with people who want to grow just as much as you do.

If you’re ready to sharpen your mind, explore a great city, and meet people who challenge and inspire you…

Beyond the classroom, Maddux and his fellow students explored Chicago—sharing meals, discovering art, and connecting across cultures. From the Bean to a Jewish deli to Egyptian food—Maddux made the most of his week in Chicago.

At Great Connections, learning doesn’t stop when class ends.

🚀 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗼 𝗘𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀: 𝟱 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗧𝗶𝗽𝘀

Success in entrepreneurship isn’t about shortcuts—it’s about cultivating the right mindset and habits that prepare you to lead with clarity and resilience. At Reliance College, we see these same traits come alive in our students every day:

𝟭. 𝗗𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗖𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗚𝗼𝗮𝗹𝘀 🎯
Entrepreneurs—and students—need vision. At Reliance, students set intellectual and personal goals, then work with tutors and peers to chart their own course of learning.

𝟮. 𝗘𝗺𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗸 ⚡
Innovation takes courage. Through project-based learning and Socratic seminars, students practice making bold arguments and testing their ideas in real time.

𝟯. 𝗔𝗱𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗞𝗲𝘆 🔄
Markets shift. So do discussions. Our collaborative method trains students to adjust, rethink, and pivot—skills every entrepreneur needs in a changing world.

𝟰. 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗮 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 🤝
No one succeeds alone. Reliance fosters deep connections across disciplines and with mentors, alumni, and industry leaders—just as entrepreneurs build partnerships.

𝟱. 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 📚
The best entrepreneurs never stop growing. Our integration of Great Books and modern challenges keeps students curious, versatile, and always sharpening their edge.

At Reliance College, we don’t just prepare students for jobs—we prepare them to think like entrepreneurs: goal-setters, risk-takers, innovators, and lifelong learners.

👉 Which of these five traits are you working on most right now? Share in the comments—we’d love to hear from you.

What if one week could permanently sharpen how you think, decide, and act? 🧠✨

The Great Connections Summer Seminar is not a lecture camp—it’s an immersive experience for students ages 16–24 who want to grow in confidence, think independently, and gain clarity about their future.

Through collaborative Socratic discussions, life-changing ideas, mentorship, and unforgettable experiences in Chicago, students learn how to become Entrepreneurs of Their Own Lives.

📍 July 25–August 1, 2026

@ihtesham2005 @charlesmurray The great scientist Maria Montessori identified this over 100 years ago. She said “The hand is the instrument of the mind.” Glad to see the research validating her identification.
