N.C. Center for Creative Retirement's College for Seniors
Offers Winter Term

This winter, reinvigorate your mind and get your body moving by choosing among 35, four-week long courses in UNC Asheville’s nationally renowned College for Seniors. With no tests, grades or prerequisites besides your curiosity and age (50 and over), you can dig the history of jazz, learn how to buy and sell on the Internet, increase your range of motion, meditate, explore Chinese medicine, stand in the shoes of the kings and queens of England, and revisit what went wrong in the Vietnam era.

Or, if science is your thing, take a course on biogeography, modern technology, phosphorus, lasers, or the environment. Twentieth century art, German literature, or Charles Frazier’s "Cold Mountain" can be mixed with Sherlock Holmes, bridge, wine tasting, and "Moby Dick." There’s something for everyone and great companionship, too.

The winter term runs from January 21 to February 17 and costs $56 for as many classes as you can schedule plus a parking permit, UNCA library card and more. To enroll, call 828/251-6384. College for Seniors is a program of the North Carolina Center for Creative Retirement, now in its 15th year.
