In 2007 Franke Tobey Jones embarked on a cultural and educational renaissance with the start of the Franke Tobey Jones Senior University. This program provides a wealth of programs for lifelong learning for people 55 or better, for both campus residents and in the surrounding community. Seniors have the opportunity to build skills, explore new subjects and enjoy the learning process with others. Lecturers and instructors are experts in their fields hailing from local colleges and universities, businesses, non-for-profits and cultural organizations, along with others who have retired with rich career experiences. Most classes are offered free of charge as a public service to the Tacoma-Pierce County community.
