Plato Society 
The PLATO Society (Peer-led Learning And Teaching in
Osher) 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 Spring/Summer 2013 14-week session will begin Monday, Apr. 29, 2013, and conclude Friday, Aug. 2, 2013 (the second 7-week session will begin Monday, June 17, 2013). 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, March 28th.
Pre-meetings will begin on Wednesday, April 13th.
