About Clayborne Carson

Dr. Carson was great! He was engaging and certainly has so much wisdom and knowledge to share given his scholarly and life experience. For my students, it was the first time they had heard about him, many of them googled him when they learned he was coming, so to see them engaged in the talk and interested in spending more time with him was definite plus.
