Senior Scholars group just keeps on learning - Hope Yancey, Charlotte Observer

Senior Scholars at Queens, an organization of senior adults and retired people, meets Tuesday mornings at 10 a.m. for lectures on topics in politics, religion, foreign policy, the arts, philosophy and many other subjects. Their logo, appearing on a newsletter and members' name tags, is an owl with a mortarboard atop its head. Several groups collaborated to start the club in 1973, including the Charlotte Chapter of AARP, colleges and universities of the Charlotte Area Educational Consortium, and the Community Health Association Senior Forum. A recent name change, from Senior Scholars to Senior Scholars at Queens, reflects the club's partnership with Queens University of Charlotte.
