Senior University at Santa TeresitaFor Students and Professionals Our Senior University hosts a series of monthly lectures which provide a continuum of life-long educational opportunities to our residents. Our pursuit of knowledge and understanding of the world around us does not decrease as we age. As seniors, the educational paradigm is still important, one of learning and enjoying the world which they contributed to by their presence and work.
The education experience is a positive learning experience where our residents are persons who also happen to be older. As we grow older many seniors discover social changes. They experience loneliness and often isolation. These lectures give our seniors opportunities to speak to policy makers, service providers, faculty from colleges and universities – those professionals who are making the policies and decisions in the world today. The curriculum reflects that of our many college and universities, including, Arts and Science, Informatics, Law, Public and Environmental Affairs, Social Work, Engineering and Technology Journalism, Philosophy and Theology. Some examples of our presentations: “Major Geological Features in the Solar System”
presented by Richard Hottor Project Manager of the NASA portion of the Joint NASA/European Space Agency Mars Express Project “California Water Sources” presented by Lawrence Morales Vice-President and General Manager East Pasadena Water Company “The Pasadena Showcase House of Design” presented by Phyllis Wilburn Public Relations Chairman Pasadena Showcase for the Arts “Sierra Madre Search and Rescue Team” presented by Bruce Lamarche Sierra Madre's Search and Rescue Team Dedicated volunteers committed to saving lives in the wilderness. Founded in 1951. Santa Teresita Senior University gives our residents the opportunity to actively take part in lectures, tutorials and discussions to share opinions among themselves and the faculty and have an impact on the decision makers of today. We welcome visitors to our Senior University Presentations which takes place in Madonna Hall Community Center.
