The opportunity to gather and enjoy each other’s company is something I think we all treasure a little more after these...

Closing Three Taps Address: “Doubling Down on Democracy’s Platform”

Three Taps of the Gavel closing the 149th Assembly Dr. Michael E. Hill, 18th President of Chautauqua Institution  When I was a little boy, I used to lament things that were hard. In those moments when I found myself complaining to my father, his reply would often be: “It builds character.”  Chautauqua, as we round out our Summer Assembly season, I have stood witness to many things that were indeed hard about our time together this summer. We entered our summer with COVID still an ominous presence. We struggled to find the necessary staff to operate Chautauqua amid a national labor...
