The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute is a membership-based educational program designed to serve adults 50 years-of-age and older and is the result of a partnership with the Bernard Osher Foundation. Bernard Osher is a California based philanthropist whose collaborations with various Universities, both regionally and nationally, have proven successful in offering intellectually stimulating learning opportunities for mature audiences.
Dr. Richard Peck, UNM President Emeritus and novelist, will discuss The New Mexico Experience, a sort of history of New Mexico, before and since statehood. He has also published two novels which draw local history entertaining enough to be fictionalized. He’ll discuss the distinction between “history” and “fiction,” and the ways in which the same event can serve both ends.
