The Academy for Learning in Retirement (ALR) will cover sports and society, medicines and older patients, Dutch artist Hieronymus Bosch, the Spanish conquest of Tenochtitlan and climate.
Because of the pandemic, ALR shifted from live, in-person to Zoom presentations in fall 2020, and they have been very successful, ALR said in a news release. It will offer Zoom presentations January through May 2022.
Here are the topics and speakers:
ALR will post the times and dates of these presentations and information about ALR’s free Jan. 6 online overview session at dacc.nmsu.edu/ALR. You can register for presentations on that website. Registration begins Jan. 2.
The fee is $20 for each month’s four presentations; $10 in April when there will be two presentations, or a reduced fee of $54 for the entire set of 18 spring presentations.
ALR is a nonprofit started in 1992 by former NMSU President Gerald Thomas, along with retired deans Thomas Gale, Virginia Higbie, Flavia McCormick and others, including former professor and teacher Clarence Fielder.
