University Express

University Express offers free educational classes for older adults in Erie County. The program runs during spring and fall semesters. You will find classes in a variety of categories, including current affairs, history, humanities, finance, and medicine.

Classes are designed to stimulate the mind and provide opportunities to build social networks, thereby reducing social isolation. No homework or tests, just exciting discussions alongside peers with similar interests!

University Express classes are offered through Erie County Senior Services. All classes include lunch (optional). You must be registered at least 48 hours in advance to sign up for the accompanying lunch.

To register for a University Express class, please call Aileen Gonzalez-Marti at 716-884-6616 x101.

Due to building renovations, we are unable to host University Express classes during the Spring 2025 semester. We’ll be back in the fall! In the meantime, check out all the classes on offer at other sites here.

Our 161 Vermont Street community center is temporarily closed for renovations. Some programs are still operating at different locations. Please visit wscsbuffalo.org/renovation for all the details.
