Osher Institute at Boise State Offers Its First Summer Session for Adult Learners

The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Boise State University will launch its first ever full summer season in May, offering 13 classes, five lectures, a five-part series on Lewis and Clark, and even a field trip to Yellowstone, to the adult learning community.

Membership in the Institute is open to all adult learners for a fee of $35 for a single season or $55 for the year. This year’s members may register for any or all of the summer offerings without paying an additional membership fee. Non-members can sign up for the upcoming fall session for $35 and also take advantage of the summer events.

Summer topics include: Yellowstone/Tetons/Craters of the Moon; digital photography; fly fishing; Shakespeare’s comedies; basic computer skills; pottery; yoga/pilates; drawing; understanding neurodegenerative diseases; the local food system; genealogy/family history; and watercolor.

The events are made possible due to the generous support of the Bernard Osher Foundation.
The Institute works with a number of community partners, including the Discovery Center and the Idaho Botanical Gardens, as well as many Boise State faculty members, to offer its members unique experiences.
