Emeritus College: Where Learning Is For Life

Join other seniors ages 50+ in an exciting learning adventure.  Emeritus College, sponsored by the Center for Achievement and Lifelong Learning at the University of North Texas, provides an extensive range of classes, travel programs and social activities for the senior set.  There are no prerequisites, no tests and no grades.  The only requirement? A love of learning.

 Topics range from fine arts to current issues, from history and social science to language and literature, from religions and spirituality to health and well being.  Enjoy short lectures and in-depth seminars.  Classes will be held this fall in the Denton area.

Lifelong Learning at UNT Wants Your Ideas

Marilyn Wagner, Director of the Center for Achievement and Lifelong Learning (CALL), is forming focus groups of seniors to find out what types of classes, social and cultural activities and travel destinations would be of interest.

The focus groups will meet once for about an hour, and refreshments will be served.  Participants will be asked for their ideas on topics and activities that would be part of CALL’s focus on lifelong learning.  We would like to conduct the focus groups in May. Benefits of the senior programs would be:

• Social and intellectual stimulation
• Exchange of ideas and discussions with peers
• Opportunities to seek knowledge, share knowledge, ask questions and try to find new ideas and insights
• A “health club” for the brain

 If you are interested in volunteering to participate in a one-time, one-hour focus group, please contact:
