One Day University was founded by Steven Schragis in 2006.He came up with the idea after he dropped his daughter off at college in New York.The school had about a dozen professors giving short talks about a variety of subjects.All the parents had the same reaction: "I wish I were the one going to college!"
One Day University creates fascinating days of learning designed to inspire your mind.We work with over two hundred professors from the country's top colleges.No matter what you love,you'll find that every One Day U event is filled with exploratory talks that will challenge you as if you were a student in college once again!And just like your college days,you're sure to meet new friends with a shared belief of learning.At One Day U,there's no homework and no grades.Just learning for the sake of learning!
