Fall 2022 Program- call 914-606-6748 to register
We are very excited to introduce our fall 2022 semester. We have courses to suit everyone, in every format: in-person, zoom, and Hyflex (a combination of the first two formats). All we need is YOU to make it a true Collegium semester: stimulating discussions, friendly exchanges of ideas, smiles, and laughter. Collegium is back and we are reaching out to those of you on our mailing list because we need you with us to recapture the spirit and excitement of life-long learning.
Our fall semester begins on Wednesday, October 12 with two classes held on Zoom. If you like to learn from your living room, in any weather, this is for you. If you’ve never used Zoom, all you need is a computer and the internet. We will send you a link and will walk you through any questions you have to ensure your success in using it. Here are the semester’s highlights.
On Wednesday:
- At 9:30 Michael Malina will guide us in a Comparison of Jewish and Christian interpretations of Biblical texts via Zoom.
- At 11:30 Christine Bobkoff will lead the perennial favorite Short Story discussion, also on Zoom.
On Thursday:
- At 9:30 Robert Fischer will return to once again lead the Great Decisions Discussion Group for 4 weeks. This Hyflex class will be both in-person and on Zoom so you can be part of the simultaneous discussion either in the classroom or in your home. This format is the best of both worlds.
- At 11:30 Tim Alexander will take us Above and Beyond Mapping in an in-person presentation of the history and latest developments in mapping both on this earth and in the universe.
On Friday:
- At 9:30 Andrea and Jerry Moskowitz will return with Keeping Current on Business, Finance, and Economics via Zoom
- At 11:30 Jim Rose will guide us through The Supreme Court and Privacy in the 21st Century in an in-person discussion.
- At 1:30 Michael Hackett will explain The Process of Human Development in Middle and Late Adulthood in person, exploring what happens to our bodies and minds as we age.
We’ve spent the last three years learning to use Zoom effectively. We’ve begun mastering Hyflex and have great hopes for this format. Now we want you to return in person or choose a format which best suits you. Our goal is to offer comfortable ways to continue learning. We are always ready to encourage, support, even hand-hold members as needed. Please feel free to reach out and ask for help. Please call or email us if you’d like to register and/or have any questions.
Warmest regards,
The Collegium Board
