Issues of Our Times: Frank Discussions (Winter Term 2024)

Participant Testimonials:

I learned many new things - both from the readings suggested by Hutch, and by comments made by my classmates.

Yes, Rick is well informed about the issues we discussed but not an "expert" in any of them. This was very helpful in framing the conversations and helping to keep us on track. 

 Sports- What's Happening? Where Are We Headed? (Spring Term 2023)

This was a truly great course. Hutch engaged us well, and we were very responsive. I would not change a thing in the future.

These are fascinating topics, and a wealth of information about each one.

While I have enjoyed other Osher courses, this was the very best. Hutch was so prepared for each session, and his material was fascinating.

Excellent preparation, and Hutch engages the class in a great way.
