Older citizens constitute a large and valuable section of our population who have educational needs.
That is why, in 1980, Boston University initiated Evergreen, a specially designed course of study and activities for persons 60 and over. The program includes lectures, discussions, artistic and cultural events, physical education, and recreation. Faculty members and distinguished guest instructors teach in both the lecture and workshop format. The intergenerational mix of elders and regular University students creates a lively interplay of energy and ideas. There is a nominal charge for each program.
