Plato Society 
Winter 2010 Session
The PLATO Society (Perpetual Learning And Teaching
Organization) is composed of retired and semi-retired professionals who share a serious concern and love for intellectual growth and continuing learning. Plato members gather on a weekly basis to discuss pre-selected topics ranging from philosophy, literature, and music to politics and science.
College Honors students may also participate in these groups - limit of one College Honors student per group - and receive credit toward College Honors requirements (equal to 4 units for 14-week groups, 3 units for 10-week groups, and 2 units for 7-week groups). A maximum of 4 unit-equivalents of Plato Society may be applied toward College Honors requirements.
Note, however, that
this credit does not apply toward your degree, will not appear on your transcript, and will not displace units on your study list for minimum progress purposes.
Study groups meet in Westwood once a week for two hours over a 14-week session. The Winter 2010 14-week session will begin Monday, January 4, 2010, and conclude Friday, April 9, 2010 (the second 7-week session will begin Wednesday, February 22, 2010). Because the Plato term does not coincide exactly with the UCLA term, some flexibility of starting/ending dates is possible.
Schedule
It is best to make your request before Thursday, December 10th.

floor in Westwood from 10:00-12:00pm and from 1:00-3:00pm.
