“Thank you so much for your presentation to the OLLI community today (Overcoming Privilege). I can say with confidence that it was the best presentation on the topic of White Privilege that I have experienced for the 50 and better community.”

"Molly's courses are both well-researched and fascinating.  She's a great presenter and storyteller across a broad range of topics, and challenges you to think about issues from points of view that you perhaps hadn't previously considered.  I love her courses, and recommend them highly to all age groups.  You're bound to come back for more of her wisdom!"

"Thank you so much for continuously offering such amazing and inspiring classes: Founders of Western Civilization; Islam’s Golden Age, the American Voices Series; Satyagraha: Gandhi’s Peaceful Power; the Worlds of Octavia Butler, etc.  Each class we’ve taken has opened up whole new areas of interest for us and inspired us to go deeper. 

 

We have enjoyed working our way through the stack of great books you have recommended, appreciating your teachings even more.  

 

We’ve learned so much from you about politics, history, equality, inclusiveness and justice. Your vast knowledge of fascinating and well-researched topics, your enthusiasm and your patient, generous teaching style has encouraged us continue to evolve spiritually, intellectually and to be better humans. 

 

We feel very blessed to have met you here in Humboldt.  You are just the kind of humanitarian- scholar-activist-teacher whom we had hoped to connect with when we first moved here to retire.

We look forward to your future classes!"

 Gathered from Anonymous Course Evaluations:

 

Enthusiastic, inclusive presentation.

 

Just a wonderful and informative presentation… only Molly could offer this
with such breadth and content, including areas I'd never considered.

 

Molly is exceptional with her vast knowledge of the human experience. I always enjoy
her classes. The list of resources was a little long, but she lays it out for us to delve into!
 

Molly is truly a fount of wisdom on a variety of subject matter! What a gift!

 

Molly Cate is a fabulous teacher, always prepared, always eager to share thoughts and allow discussions, always interested in her topics and a valuable resource in our community.

 

Molly gave us lots of information that we can explore after the class is over. 

 

Any course with Molly is fine. (Fine as in exceptional, not simply okay.)

 

Teacher was always supportive, interesting and disarming.

 

Molly is an incredibly well prepared presenter with interesting stories,
photos, videos and facts. She has done a great deal of research, but is always willing to
research a question that she doesn't have an answer to. She is a gem! Don't lose her. 

 

Engaged throughout––learning new things in an interesting way. Always learning from discussion with other participants.
