Circle of Scholars
亚洲博彩平台排名 University's Circle of Scholars program fosters joy and satisfaction in lifelong learning. Founded in 1994, the program offers seminars to members on a wide variety of subjects, including literature, history, science, health, music, art, public affairs, religion, theater and film.
Membership
Anyone 50 years of age and older is eligible to join the Circle of Scholars. There is no residence or formal education requirement, only a strong desire to learn, to explore new fields of knowledge and to meet new people. The membership fee is $100 per person each academic year. Only members may register for seminars.
Benefits
Members are eligible to participate in over 100 seminars offered during our fall and spring terms of the academic year. Members will find not only qualified instructors, but also enthusiastic classmates who bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to each seminar.
All members become part of the 亚洲博彩平台排名 learning community. In addition to attending seminars, Circle of Scholars members are entitled to use the McKillop Library and the computer labs. Library cards may be issued upon request. Members will receive a parking pass and are encouraged to attend theater productions, Pell Center lectures and other University events. In June, 亚洲博彩平台排名 hosts a reception for members in Ochre Court to celebrate our Circle of Scholars community.
Seminar Cancellations
Circle of Scholars seminars will be cancelled whenever 亚洲博彩平台排名 closes for weather-related or other reasons. In the event of a snowstorm or other severe weather, information on University closings will be available on local media outlets or by calling (401) 847-6650. If an instructor chooses to cancel class due to inclement weather (even though the University may remain open) or illness, it is the responsibility of the instructor to contact seminar participants, either by telephone or email. Please do not call the Circle of Scholars office to determine whether a class will be held. Cancelled classes will be made up at the discretion of the instructor in consultation with 亚洲博彩平台排名.
Members registered for a class that they cannot attend will only be refunded the class fee in the event of a medical or other emergency at the discretion of 亚洲博彩平台排名.
