In the fall of 2010, Professor Alvin Felzenberg taught a residential college seminar entitled: The Life of William F. Buckley, Jr. and The Rise of Modern Conservatism. The course was met with rave reviews from students and faculty.
In partnership with Yale, the Buckley Program linked the University to a donor in order enable the university to offer the course again. A similar, for-credit class was taught in the political science department by Professor Danilo Petranovich in the spring of 2012.
