Spring Has Sprung
While most outdoor life has settled in for a long winter's nap, the life of the mind readies itself for a new season of learning. The WISE Spring 2020 catalog is on our Courses page.
We're offering more courses than ever, from the classical era to contemporary social issues, from rock and roll to rocks and lichens, from science to science fiction. The vernal pool of learning is deep.
To register for WISE courses and to enjoy the many benefits of this learning community, you must be a WISE member. If you're new to WISE, see what we have to offer. If you like what you see, you can join WISE now.

Painful as it may be, a significant emotional event can be the catalyst for choosing a direction that serves us- and those around us- more effectively. Look for the learning."-- Louisa May Alcott
