Medical Insurance Benefits Meeting

November 15, 12–1:30 pm via Zoom

Because of ongoing concerns on the part of many Columbia retirees about the changes in Columbia retiree medical insurance benefits, the November 15th lecture/luncheon with Prof. Ellen Gruber Garvey is postponed (TBD). An EPIC Benefits Zoom meeting will be held in its place.

We will use this meeting to share experiences retirees have been having in transitioning to the new VIA Benefits program and hopefully provide useful recommendations to those who have yet to complete their enrollment for 2023 health insurance. The meeting will be recorded.

Frank Wolf, Vice President of EPIC, will chair the meeting.

The Course of Nature:

Evolution and Its Consequences

Amy and Robert Pollack

Luncheon at Faculty House

Tuesday, November 1, 12–2pm

The Course of Nature is based on Amy’s illustrations for Bob’s highly regarded “Frontiers of Science” course, a part of Columbia College’s core curriculum. The Pollacks lead us through a stimulating conversation of science and art, an artistic romp through the nature of natural selection.

Six autographed copies of the book will be offered as door prizes (three online and three in-person). You can also order online.
