Past TASP Topics & Faculty
Past TASP Topics & Faculty
Telluride Association Summer Programs (TASPs), Telluride’s pioneering summer program scholarship programs for high school juniors, ran from 1954 until 2020. After a year’s hiatus due to COVID and for reorganization, they and our Sophomore Seminars were superseded by the new Telluride Association Summer Seminars, to be premiered in 2022.
Over the course of nearly 70 years, TASP transformed the lives of over 3,600 participants from around the world. TASPs were taught at 15 different sites by several hundred different faculty, many of whom cite the experience as a teaching career highlight. Here is a list of the seminar titles and faculty, from the very beginning to our online program in 2020.
