The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at the University of Kansas offers short courses and special events specially developed for folks age 50 and over. This fall, Lawrence residents can enjoy 17 courses held at the KU Continuing Education Building, at 1515 St. Andrews Drive (near Kasold and Bob Billings Parkway) and Brandon Woods Retirement Community at 1501 Inverness Drive.
Courses are usually three weekly, two-hour sessions (e.g. three Tuesdays from 2-4 p.m.). Topics vary widely from the Vietnam War to Herman Melville and Walt Whitman; from digital photography to cowboys, Indians and homesteaders; and from the lost Gospels to Winston Churchill.
