ST. LEO – Members of the public are invited to a free open house to introduce the Saint Leo University-Osher Lifelong Learning Institute and lecture series this fall.
The open house takes place from 10 to 11:30 a.m. Sept. 3 at the Saint Leo University Wellness Center, 33701 County Road 52.
Saint Leo University and the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute launched the outreach program in January. It is designed for adult lifelong learners in Pasco and Hillsborough counties.
Osher Lifelong Learning Institutes are a network of university-based programs that offer non-credit courses and learning opportunities for people 50 and older.
At the open house, there will be brief overviews of each of the upcoming lectures by the faculty presenters and a keynote speech by Heather Parker, dean of the College of Arts, Sciences, and Allied Services.
The public is invited to the free open house and then to sign up for the interdisciplinary lectures on contemporary topics to be presented by Saint Leo University faculty members in fall 2025.
The lecture series will include “Ireland and World War I Impact,” presented by Karen Hannel on Sept. 16; “Happiness Research: Living Our Best Lives,” presented by Randall Woodard on Oct. 21; “Science Fiction & Pop Culture,” presented by Dr. Burgsbee Hobbs on Nov. 18; and “New Testament and Women,” presented by Robert Imperato on Dec. 3.
