Oak Hill & the Martha Berry Museum Announces Senior Scholars Program for Adults 55 and Up

Oak Hill & the Martha Berry Museum will once again host its Senior Scholars program, a series of courses for adults aged 55 and up, beginning the week of Sept. 16 and running throughout the fall.

“We are entering the program’s 30th year!” said Allison Moore, Director of Community Engagement & Education at Oak Hill, “And we can’t wait to welcome new and returning participants to this year’s slate of courses.”

The Senior Scholars program offers a variety of classes and social programs with learning opportunities designed for senior adults. These courses encourage participants to build friendships and a sense of community while participating in lifelong learning and growth.

This semester, the Senior Scholar program is offering 20 unique courses and programs, taught by both Berry College faculty and members of the Rome community. Courses range from a single day to eight weeks and feature a wide variety of topics, such as political history, journaling, watercolor painting, and writing. There is also a selection of health and wellness courses including yoga and Zumba. Most courses are held at Oak Hill & The Martha Berry Museum, but a few are on the Berry College campus.
