literature, art, art history, design, graphics, film, video, performance, dance, music, health, and psychology in an independent
and feminist environment. The four brochures in this collection provide general information about the Extension Program, along
with course catalogs for the 1976 Fall Session and the 1977 Winter, Spring, and Fall Sessions.
