University Express offers free educational classes for older adults in Erie County. The program runs during spring and fall semesters. You will find classes in a variety of categories, including current affairs, history, humanities, finance and medicine. Click for a complete list of classes.
Classes are designed to stimulate the mind and provide opportunities to build social networks, thereby reducing social isolation. No homework or tests, just exciting discussions alongside peers with similar interests!
"We want to get seniors out, get them out into the community, meet each other, network, and also have the ability to learn a fun topic along the way. We have multiple locations across Erie County at multiple times to fit everyone's schedule."
-David J. Shenk, Commissioner, Erie County Department of Senior Services
