Events

The University of Wisconsin Oshkosh Learning in Retirement (LIR) is a self-directed, membership-based association, offering learning opportunities to its members.

Members choose topics or subjects, take the lead in organizing classes, discussion groups or tours and participate in peer teaching and learning. There are classes and instructors, but no tests or grades. LIR is affiliated with UW Oshkosh's Division of Online and Continuing Education who hosts the organization and facilitates various learning activities.

Come and hear Jim Krueger, current President tell us about LIR and its upcoming plans!

CBD is quite a hot topic, but does the evidence live up to the hype? Dr. J. J. Allen of Hometown Pharmacy will give an overview of your body's endocannabinoid system and the role it has on your health. There will be a discussion of how cannabinoids such as CBD impact this system. There will be a clinical discussion of the use of CBD and who should or should not use it and then how to choose an appropriate product and dose.  Certainly a timely topic given the trend toward legalization and growing public interest and support.

Sit back, relax, and listen to crowd favorite, Randy Domer, spin stories of Oshkosh's past. Randy is the author of several books involving Oshkosh's historic past including “We Shall Never Pass This Way Again,” “Yesterday in Oshkosh.... My Hometown” and “Oshkosh: Land of Lakeflies, Bubblers and Squeaky Cheese.” He is president of the Winnebago County Historic and Archaeological Society, VP of The Butte des Morts Historical Preservation Society and board member of the Oshkosh Public Museum.  I suspect a number of our members will relate with and remember some of their own versions of Randy's stories!
