Course Description:
Who's afraid of poetry? Not you! With the modern spread of "accessible" or "hospitable" poems, their form has become more inviting than many other styles.
Without sacrificing artist integrity, best-selling poet Billy Collins and others have opened up new interest in a traditional form. Enjoy the sparkle and spice of verse that reaches out to the reader with wit and wisdom, while respecting the eternal power of poetry to move the human soul.

Course Description:
Whole food, plant-based diets (WFPB) are supported by major medical organizations as an excellent strategy for optimizing health, losing weight, and significantly reducing risk for chronic disease such as Alzheimer’s, heart disease, cancer, type 2 diabetes, and more. Nutrition science has even shown that some chronic diseases can be halted or reversed when people adopt a WFPB diet. This course teaches the evidence-based scientific reasons why eating plants offer many advantages to overall health, longevity, and disease prevention. We will also present the best strategies for designing and eating a well-balanced, plant-based diet, share recipes, and will present some cooking demos. This course is valuable for anyone wanting to fully transition to a plant-based lifestyle or for those who want to simply add more healthy plant-based food into their present diet.

Course Description:
Anti-Asian violence is not a modern-day occurrence. Fear, hatred, and racism toward the Chinese and Japanese began in the mid 1800’s culminating with the incarceration of over 125,000 Japanese at the beginning of WWII, two thirds of whom were US citizens. Presented through the perspective of a third generation Japanese-American (Sansei), we will discuss the how, when and why racism landed Americans in what is more accurately described as prison camps, and what we can do to countermand the effect of anti-Asian violence and racism in America today.

Course Description:
The learning objective of this short course is to review the major unresolved enigmas of the JFK assassination over our first three sessions, and the final session will review JFK’s legacy and say farewell to Camelot. Decades of revisionism have done little to diminish the general esteem and glow which Kennedy and his presidency are measured. He stands as an enduring reminder of a much more civil, innocent, harmonious, hopeful time, and as a principled based leader, who encouraged curiosity and critical thinking on complex issues where all voices were heard.
