Shilling for something good

Listen up.

If you happen to be 55 or older (no, I am not, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate this program for its value), consider participating in what qualifies in my book as an "educational pilgrimage".

I'm talking about the upcoming fall POLIS series.

POLIS is Quincy University’s program of continued education for retired and semi-retired persons over 55 years of age and there are a lot of interesting subjects to be discussed beginning September 6th.

Want to learn more about the experience of vets in World War 2? How about some seriously interesting stuff about the Father of Waters, the Mississippi--Quincy's doorstep, if you will?

There are also offerings on local media, law enforcement, literature, music, Islamic civilization and stress and depression.

No tests, no grades, no pressure, just inexpensive education. $30, plus a small fee for each course (you don't have to take them all)--that's a deal you cannot beat.

Keep learning or settle in to become mulch right now.

Want to know more? Contact POLIS at 228-5594 or by email at polis@quincy.edu, or visit www.quincy.edu.
