SAGE

The SAGE Lecture Series
Senior Adults Gaining Enrichment 

The Senior Adults Gaining Enrichment program is one designed for adults over 55 years of age who are interested in expanding life's experiences. SAGE offers an opportunity to enrich one's life through learning in a relaxed and accepting environment among peers. We cover a wide range of subjects in our college level lectures including social and cultural trends, evolving technologies, the arts, food and wine, politics, religion, economics, health and wellness, and many more!

Each SAGE session is held on the first Friday of the month and begins with coffee at 10:30 a.m.*, the featured speaker at 11 a.m., and lunch at noon.  All SAGE lectures are held in room 135 at Penn State Lehigh Valley located at 2809 Saucon Valley Road in Center Valley.

The Evolution of Photography and How the Wars Changed Photography: Do you like photography that makes you think? Do you stare into a photograph and wonder? What’s all this about? Don’t we ever learn?

Come and learn about the 18th century photographer’s methods to manipulate his subject. Did he do a good job to convey what happened?
