    The Newman English program exposed me to new and different ideas about how to see and understand the world. While its emphasis was obviously on how the ideas shaped literature, I was always free to explore their effects in other arenas. The program gave me a strong base knowledge that has become invaluable in my graduate career. --Janet Sutton, English B.A., Theater minor’07
