The U3A movement began in France, and its development in the United States was fostered by John E. Morley, M.D., director of the division of geriatric medicine.
Workshops cover a variety of subjects from health and history to discussion of local landmarks.
The daylong sessions take place three times a year in March, June and October. In between, various ongoing small groups meet to discuss specific topics. U3A conference sponsors are the division of geriatric medicine and the Geriatric Research, Education and Clinical Center of the St. Louis Veterans Affairs Medical Center. The fee includes costs of parking and both breakfast and lunch. For more information or to register, call 577-8462 and ask for Operator U3A. Registrants will be sent directions to the LRC and for parking.
