Clear Lake Association of Senior Programs is an outreach initiative of University of Houston-Clear Lake created to encourage life-long learning through monthly presentations and engage community members of all ages in a wide variety of topics.
The first presentation of the 2018-19 season takes place Sept. 6 and is entitled “The Symbiotic Relationship Between Exercise and Nutrition,” given by UHCL’s Associate Professor of Exercise and Health Sciences William Amonette.
Presentations are Thursdays from 5:30-7 p.m. in the Garden Room of the Bayou Building, 2700 Bay Area Blvd., Houston. Parking and admission is free.
Join us for an intimate look at everyone’s favorite neighbor, Mister Fred Rogers. “Won’t You Be My Neighbor,” presented as the first film in UH-Clear Lake’s 2018-19 Film and Speaker Series, will be shown Saturday, Sept. 8 at 7 p.m. in the Student Services and Classroom Building Lecture Hall.
The movie is the portrait of a man whom we think we all know, taking us beyond the zip-up cardigans and the land of make-believe, and into the heart of a creative genius who inspired generations of children with compassion and imagination.
Speakers after the movie are Beth Hentges and Christine Walthers, both professors in UHCL’s Department of Psychology. Admission is free with UHCL student ID, all others $4. Parking is free in the Visitor Lot.
Celebrate the start of University of Houston-Clear Lake’s fall semester at Welcome Back Bash, Aug. 30, 5-8 p.m. The event is hosted by UHCL Orientation and New Student Programs and the UHCL Alumni Association.
