Make November brighter with adult learning

Check out Presidents’ College Lifelong Learning at the University of Hartford. Here’s why: Right-sized lectures, discussions, and mini-courses; immersive experiences combining discussions and a live play or performance; outstanding instruction by professors and community thought leaders; pay only a modest amount for those programs you take.

Upcoming courses and lectures will cover the story of the Connecticut Wangunk tribe, Jane Eyre, why it’s so hard to agree on moral truth, the search for extraterrestrial life, Broadway and making sense (is it even possible?) of insurance math.
