Fall classes begin Sept. 12 at RIT’s Osher Lifelong Learning Institute. An open house and descriptions of the 43 classes offered will be held Aug. 29. Anyone over 50 is welcome.
Our solar system, Duke Ellington’s America, and mysteries of the mind are just some of the 43 classes offered this fall by the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Rochester Institute of Technology.
The classes, open to anyone who is 50 years of age or older, are held weekly, from one to 10 weeks, starting on Sept. 12. Each session lasts up to two hours. The cost is $150 if participants register for one quarter, or $350 for unlimited classes the entire year.
Some of the classes will be taught in-person, and some will be held via Zoom.
An in-person course preview and open house is scheduled for 10 a.m. Aug. 29 at Osher, 50 Fairwood Drive, Suite 100, just southwest of the RIT campus off East River Road, between Bailey and Lehigh Station roads. Attendees will be introduced to the institute and provide highlights from a few of the fall courses. No pre-registration is needed to attend.
The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at RIT is a member-led organization that offers a wide variety of academic, cultural, and social programs and activities—varying from history and literature to science and music—to enrich and inspire adult learners age 50 and older. More information about full Osher at RIT membership and benefits can be found on the Osher website.
