Traveling with GrandchildrenNEW!
With over twenty years of experiences traveling with grandchildren, instructor Mandy Gibson has many stories to tell and advice to be given. Special adventures with grandchildren can be for a day or a week. They can be close to home or include far off travel. The main thread is the bonding that happens when the two generations spend time together without the distraction of the parents in the middle! Where should you go and for how long? What is age appropriate? How do you pay for it? Why do it? These are all questions that we will explore in this class. You are welcome to bring your ideas and experiments to share.

The Changing Face of America
NEW!
Recently much attention has focused on the demography of America. Our population is changing in noticeable ways: aging, moving, shifting ethnic and racial components. Also, as the economy has transformed, jobs have changed, opportunities have opened for some, declined for others. This class will look at the elements of demographic and social change over the past 50 years and discuss the challenges such change entails.

Democracy: What, Why, & What
Future? NEW!
For much of the post-WWII period, despite the Cold War, democracy seemed to be the obvious future. But now in the 21st century, it’s being rolled back and questioned. This class will look at the key elements of democratic governance and at the societal features that seem to support democracy. Finally, we will consider the several threats or challenges to democracy. Phil Mikesell 2 sessions | $49 #1295 May 3 –10 University Center W 1:30 – 3:30 pm UC 208
