Course Description: Although Jefferson has rarely been labeled a geographer,
geography and maps were central to most
of his adult careers and personal pursuits. This course
will review those associations, including surveyor,
book collector, expedition planner, and more. We will
see that Jefferson's push for westward expansion of
the new United States foreshadowed the later 19th
century concept of Manifest Destiny. Original maps
will be used in the course.
Suggested Reading"The True Geography of Our Country: Jefferson's Cartographic Vision" available in print and e-book forms.

Course Description: This course will discuss native Virginia butterflies
and moths, what it takes to attract them to your yard,
and the pressures on their continued survival. A good
example of this is the migration of the Monarchs to
Mexico, a phenomenon we will discuss in detail. Live
specimens will provide an "up close and personal"
look at both adult Lepidoptera and their larvae (caterpillars)
and will enhance opportunities for learning
more about these amazing insects. The more we learn about these seemingly simple and beautiful creatures,
the more fascinating they become!

Course Description: Listening is a skill used every day in our lives.
How many people could be better listeners? Ironically,
for a skill that is so important and used so much, most
people have never had any training or guidance in
developing the skill. Listening skills can be developed
and strengthened through understanding and practice.
In this course, the instructor will present a simple
model of the communication process. The sessions
will include one-on-one student interaction, small
group interaction, and some large group discussion.
Throughout the course, many opportunities to practice
new skills will be available.

Course Description: The History of the Peloponnesian War is still the
greatest study of war and power politics in world literature.
The class will examine six excerpts: Pericles'
description of democratic Athens, Thucydides' eyewitness
account of the plague, his analysis of the bloody
Corcyrean Revolution, the public debate in Athens
over the rebellious colony of Mytilene, the negotiations
between Athens and the neutral island of Melos,
and the narrative devoted to the Athenian invasion
of Sicily. Relevance to today's world begins with the
similarity of Sparta to the USSR and Athens to America.
Thucydides offers cogent lessons on the limits
of Realpolitik and the kind of tunnel vision that can
produce a Vietnam War or the occupation of Iraq.
Suggested Reading
