Fromm Institute-USF

Wonderful learning and social experience for those of us over 50

As an employee of USF, I have had the opportunity to sit in on a couple of Fromm lectures. If it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t have the chance to experience this opportunity for myself for another 30 years!
I think the website summarizes the Fromm program much more eloquently than I could:
«Founded in 1976 by Alfred and Hanna Fromm, the Fromm Institute for Lifelong Learning is an educational program for retired persons at the University of San Francisco.
The program offers daytime, noncredit, college-​level courses in a wide range of academic subjects. With a faculty of over forty emeriti (retired professors), the Institute presents approximately fifty courses each year over three eight-​week sessions: fall, winter and spring.
While the Fromm Institute creates a peer age setting in its classrooms, program participants also have the opportunity to interact with the multigenerational community while on USF’s attractive and accessible campus.»
They also offer an amazing holiday program complete with holiday luncheon and special lectures. Highly recommended for your parents and grandparents to keep them mentally stimulated!
