Events

Lectures, excursions, and conversations across the Catskills.

Events will make the college visible before the full course catalog launches and give members low-pressure ways to participate.

Monthly lecture

Public talks with scholars, artists, journalists, civic leaders, scientists, and local historians.

Field learning

Small group visits to museums, historic sites, trails, performances, farms, libraries, and cultural organizations.

Member groups

Reading, writing, film, history, and discussion groups that meet between formal course terms.
