The University of the Third Age, commonly referred to as the U3A, are a community of retired/ semi retired people who enjoy the reward of learning and take part in regular groups and sessions to expand their skills and life experiences. BU is supporting this community by organising bi-annual public lecture days where members of the U3A, as well as anyone else from the community who may be interested, can come onto campus and hear about the latest developments in the academic world.
I’m looking for speakers for the next two talks, taking place in the EBC on Wednesday 16 December 2015 and Wednesday 30 March 2016. Ideally presentations will be around 40 minutes long followed by a Q&A session and can be on any topic that would be of interest to a general audience.
If you’d be interested in taking part please drop me an email for further information.
