I have been spending more time on campus since I began auditing a new class call Spiritual Deminsion of Human Life. I have a friend who is a professor at CSU and has invited me to sit in on this new class. Strange to take a seat in a college classroom after 25 years.
They have a program for the seniors where at the discretion of the instructor, seniors 55 years of age or older may attend any University class as a visitor without formal registration, provided on campus classroom space is available and it’s free. I can do homework but do not turn it in, nor do I take any quizzes of finals. I’ve found it fun.

That’s a cool idea. Definitely something I’d do. Might need to check out the policies of local universities.

I would check it out. It seems to provide the potential for a very wise Cedric to bring his experience and knowledge into the classroom.

That’s a fantastic opportunity, Monte. And a very interesting class. It sounds just like when I was in school – no homework, quizzes or tests. Of course you’re actually showing up which I didn’t always do. 😉 I took a Philosophy of World Religions class in college and would love to take it again now, with a 40+ year older mindset.

I am a better student at this stage of life. 🙂 It may behoove you to check it out at your local colleges. It’s fun.
