Current Classes

Spend your Monday Mornings exercising your mind. All Monday Morning Lectures (MML) will be on Monday except the first MML which will be on Thursday, September 24 at 3:00 pm. If NBC can have Monday Night Football on Thursday nights, Senior College can do a MML on a Thursday!

Starting September 28th and continuing every Monday morning (except October 12th ) through November 2nd we will present a special lecture via Zoom on a unique topic of interest. Pre-registration through the Senior College website is required. The Lectures are open to Senior College members and their guests.

There will be no lecture on October 12th

Everything we see with our eyes, or powerful instruments, everything we think of as atom-based matter is 5% of what we know exists. The rest of the contents of the cosmos is invisible to our current methods of detection; however, something out there is holding galaxies and galaxy clusters together; something else is causing space itself to fly apart. These invisible components are dark matter and dark energy. This course describes how we know they are there and what they might be or do to our universe.

This class is limited to 15 participants.

Senior College Covid-19 Policies and Guidelines will be followed for this in-person class.

Watercolors lend themselves to plein air painting. Equipment is minimal, and you can paint almost anywhere in just a few minutes. Bring basic watercolor materials with you to the first class: paper, paints, brushes,  something to hold water, and a pencil.

This class is full. 

Senior College Covid-19 Guidelines and Procedures will be followed for this in-person class.

It’s election time and here is a unique opportunity to join three UNK Professors  for a wide-ranging discussion of the history, politics, and economics of past and present elections, culminating in a post-election round table on November 5.
