W19T Discussing Finance, Economics, and Business in the News (Hybrid/In-Person)

In-Person | Registration opens 12/16/2025 10:00 AM EST

[NEW COURSE] This course is a discussion class in which students can review finance, economics, and business topics. The format will be similar to our OLLI’s Current Events course: at the beginning of each class, students will be welcome to suggest topics for the day and will provide introductions and closing remarks which will summarize the points made in the discussions. Alternatively, topics can be suggested in advance of a class; the student suggesting the topic can optionally provide supporting material to be read by the class to prepare. Audio/Visual, Discussion, Reading

  • *This registration item is HYBRID/IN-PERSON, which means that you can attend either in-person or via Zoom. DO NOT also register for the Zoom section of this course.*
