Dr. Virginia Lee visited Oxford College early in September to lead a number of group discussions on Inquiry Guided Learning.   In the morning, she facilitated discussion of INQ in a meeting with the faculty, and throughout the day met with other faculty groups, including members of the Inquiry Review and Development Committee.
