Carolyn J. Cavanaugh Toft

ASU’s Carolyn Cavanaugh Toft will talk about how people can be persuaded to say “yes.”

One Day University returns Saturday, Oct. 13, with lectures on the arts, politics and psychology.

As the title implies, you get all three classes in one day.

Consider it a crash course of sorts, one that comes with no final exams or big research papers — or degrees.

In other words, education for the fun of it.

This is the third One Day University in Tucson, and will be held at the Tucson Jewish Community Center.

The 12-year-old One Day University hosts similar events nationwide, inviting college professors from universities around the country to present their best lectures.

What: One Day University.

When: 9:30 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 13.

Where: Tucson Jewish Community Center, 3800 E. River Road.

Cost: $159, discounts to $119 when you order using code Tucson119 at onedayu.com.
