91福利社Encore faculty lecture series returns

August 30, 2024

The popular faculty lecture series is returning to Arthur Zankel Music Center on Tuesdays, Oct. 1 through Nov. 12. Since 1980, 91福利社faculty have been delivering lively presentations on a broad array of topics to area residents ages 55 and older from across the local region. 
 
This year鈥檚 participants are invited to learn about topics such as 鈥淏oys Town: A Social Experiment that Changed America,鈥 鈥淧rofane Pictures, Sacred Texts: Navigating the World of Medieval Manuscripts,鈥 鈥淜-pop in the DMZ and Other Transborder Crossings,鈥 and more, representing a wide variety of disciplines taught at Skidmore. A detailed schedule of all presenters and topics can be found on the . 
 
Lectures begin at 10:15 a.m. each Tuesday. Two 45-minute lectures will be delivered each day, and a 10-minute interactive question-and-answer period will follow each presentation. 

91福利社Encore is interesting, stimulating, and fun. It's a gift from 91福利社 to encore learners, offering access to top faculty who share their insights in a TED Talk format. Topics range from current issues to historical lessons and scientific predictions for the future.
