Hillsdale College Launches Free Online Course: "Winston Churchill and Statesmanship"
HILLSDALE, Mich., Sept. 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Hillsdale College opened registration for a new, free, not-for-credit, online course, "Winston Churchill and Statesmanship," which begins on Oct. 5. The six-week course, taught by Hillsdale College President Larry P. Arnn, examines the life, lessons and legacy of Sir Winston Churchill. Register online at online.hillsdale.edu/Churchill.
Winston S. Churchill was the greatest statesman of the 20th century, and one of the greatest in all of history. From a young age, Churchill understood the unique dangers of modern warfare, and he worked to respond to them. Though best known for his leadership during World War II, he was also a great defender of constitutionalism. A close study of Churchill's words and deeds offers timeless lessons about the virtues, especially prudence, required for great statesmanship.
"Churchill's life and career may be the best example modern historians have of what it means to be a statesman, providing timeless lessons of justice and injustice, of life and death, and how to lead with strength and conviction," said Dr. Arnn.
The course consists of six 30-40 minute sessions, which are released every Monday and are available on-demand once published:
