Now that you are older and wiser, don’t you wish you could go back to college, even for a day? Well you can! Join the South Orange-Maplewood Adult School for a day of stimulating and challenging college classes without the stress and tests from your college days.  From 9:30am until 3:30pm on Saturday, April 20^th, you can attend lectures on literature, psychology, art history and philosophy.

This day of college classes, taught by provocative and award-winning teachers, is offered in several different formats. You may choose to attend all four lectures and join your fellow classmates for a delicious lunch (fee: $82), or you can attend only the morning classes or only the afternoon classes (fee: $45). The event is held at Maplewood’s Columbia High School’s Black Box Theater.

From 10-11am Dr. Stuart Hirschberg, an associate professor of English at Rutgers, Newark, will be discussing Mythology in the Poetry of W.B. Yeats and Ted Hughes.

From 11:15am-12:15pm Dr. Jan Mohlman, assistant professor in the clinical psychology program at William Paterson, will shed light on Keeping the Brain Young.

After lunch, from 1-2pm, Dr. Charlotte Nichols will take a break from teaching art history at Seton Hall University and the Museum Professions program to bring us up to speed on The Mona Lisa: Myth, Mania and Research in the New Millennium.

And finally from 2:15-3:15pm, Dr. Erik Anderson, the NEH Distinguished Chair of Humanities at Drew University and one of the 300 Best Professors in the country according to The Princeton Review, will get us thinking as he ponders Freedom and Identity 101.
