About the Evergreen Program at Boston University

The Boston University Evergreen Program invites elders of the community to ENRICH their lives through opportunites to learn, make new friends, and participate in the intergenerational setting of the University.

Evergreen undertakes to stretch minds through lectures and discussions on interesting and meaningful topics conducted by recognized experts. By attending these activities in a campus environment, elders share in and contribute to the University community.

The Evergreen Program also provides the opportunity for noncredit participation in most Boston University courses. As classmates, both elder and younger students benefit from the diversity of experience, ideas, and perspectives present.

The only qualification for attending Evergreen is attainment of the age of fifty-eight. No educational credentials or professional affiliations are required.
