Terrific Talks and Tours Planned for Fall ’19 Lifelong Learning Connections

Lifelong Learning Connections, formerly known as Senior Forum, will be offering several sessions in October.

Hosted by the University of Findlay and sponsored by the Office of University Advancement, the program provides opportunities for additional learning about interesting topics. The sessions, hosted by University experts and those from the region, will be held during three Wednesdays in October in the University’s Alumni Memorial Union (AMU) on Frazer Street. Participants may choose their level of involvement by attending as many sessions as they wish.

Lifelong Learning fees are $5 per session. Lunch, which is optional, costs $6 each day. To register, click here, or contact organizer Kay Hoane at hoane@findlay.edu.
