Center for Senior Citizens' Education
What does the Center do?
Each semester, we offer at least six special programs -- four in St. Paul and two in Minneapolis -- lecture series designed to meet our Seniors' interests and schedules. These programs are based on various topics in history, music, art, literature, theology, science, religions and cultures of other parts of the world.
The original program, Senior Citizens Go to College, started over 30 years ago with eight participants. Today, it provides opportunities for intergenerational learning for approximately 150 Seniors each semester.
Another type of program which is offered and has proven to be very popular is the Lunch 'n Learn. These are offered periodically during the fall and spring semesters and provide the opportunity to hear a talk presented by prominent speakers from the area on a variety of topics while enjoying a delicious luncheon and conversation with friends and other participants..
The Center also offers some limited programming in January and February. These winter options include programs offered completely on-line:
