College of Stoic Philosophers

Each student is assigned a mentor to work with the student in becoming a knowledgeable and practicing Stoic. Mentors and students correspond by email, and these exchanges between the student and mentor provide an opportunity to examine any issues, questions, or problems that arise. In the case of more advanced work that may require the insight and expertise of a scholar, the College is fortunate to have Fellows of the College who have agreed to be available.
