Findlay, Ohio – The University will begin its spring Senior Forum, a
six-week series of learning experiences for people age 50 and older on
Wednesday, March 22, in UF’s Alumni Memorial Union.
The forums, consisting of a variety of informative and entertaining
sessions, take place each Wednesday through April 26. Three sessions
take place each day, one in the morning, one at lunch and one in the
afternoon. Some sessions form a series on a particular topic from week
to week. However, all sessions stand alone.
Each day is a socially and intellectually stimulating learning
experience that offers non-credit classes with no tests or required
reading.

professor and director of public and allied health at Bowling Green
State University.
- 1:15 to 2:30 p.m.: “Sailing from Ohio to Maine” by Hancock County Parks representative Tim Brugeman.
Future sessions include: “Animal Behavior: Not Just Biology,” “U.N.
Reform” and “Two Piano Magic” on March 29; “Graceful Transitions: Home
Care,” “U.S. Iran” and “Roots: Italian Style!” on April 5; “History of
The Quakers,” “Energy” and “Rhythm, Riffs and Ragtime” on April 12;
