Reliance College

What if you could step into the places where history’s greatest thinkers lived, reasoned, and transformed the world? For Bill Rein, The Great Connections program did just that.

From reading Aristotle at Aristotle’s Lagoon to exploring Plato’s Academy in Greece, Bill experienced the ideas of these great minds not as distant relics but as living, practical lessons. The program goes beyond textbooks—it’s about learning in context and connecting timeless ideas to real-world action.

The result? A deeper understanding of philosophy, history, and how to apply these principles to make the world a better place.

At Reliance College’s Great Connections, learning extends far beyond the classroom. Students from across the globe come together, many exploring a new city for the first time.

At our annual Summer Seminar in Chicago, this means diving into the city’s rich history with scavenger hunts, discovering landmarks, and of course, enjoying iconic deep-dish pizza.

Whether exploring the Great Fire’s legacy or immersing yourself in local culture abroad, the program combines intellectual growth with unforgettable real-world experiences.
