On Sunday November 2, University of California students will look older – decades older! Hundreds of boomers will go “back to school” for a day of weekend fun at One Day University, the nation’s most popular Edutainment program.
They’ll experience the best of UC Berkeley, University of Pennsylvania, Harvard and Stanford– without ever leaving San Francisco, CA.
One Day University is a dynamic lecture series that gathers the best professors from the nation’s top schools to deliver their most popular lectures. Since 2006, the program has attracted almost 15,000 students-for-a-day in 11 cities across the country.
The November 2 event in San Francisco will offer in depth analysis to the following questions:
o What gave Hitler his peculiar power?
o How is the world changing the English language?
o What did Beethoven’s Ninth mean to listeners in the nineteenth century?

About One Day University
One Day University, a dynamic lecture series led by the country’s top university professors, is pioneering a new genre of weekend activities: Edutainment.
Every eight weeks, in 11 cities across the country, a rotating ensemble of four prominent professors presents a day of cutting-edge insights. Their diverse topics range from the psychology of happiness to global warming, and from music to politics.
The faculty is an all-star lineup: More than 100 award-winning professors from 35 top schools, including Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth, Stanford, and Columbia. In fact, professors from eight of U.S. News & World Report’s prestigious “Top 10 Universities” ranking are members of the One Day University faculty.
For the audience, One Day U. rekindles the spirit of intellectual exploration first experienced as a college undergraduate. The thought-provoking sessions, held in a classroom setting, shake up assumptions, spark curiosity and provide the audience with a dynamic lens for viewing the world.
Since 2006, almost 15,000 students-for-a-day have attended One Day U. The program’s popularity speaks to Boomers’ growing demand for innovative pursuits and post-career challenges. The U.S. Department of Education estimates that nearly half of Americans over age 50 participate in continuing education courses. According to the Learning Resources Network, the continuing-education industry is a $6 billion business.
One Day University events take place in the following locations: Los Angeles; San Francisco; New York area (New York City; Westchester; Long Island); Washington, DC area (Rockville, MD); Connecticut (West Hartford; Fairfield); Morristown, NJ; Philadelphia, PA; and Wellesley, MA.
Sessions run from 9:30 a.m. - 3:45 p.m., include lunch and start at $259 per session.
