The Jagiellonian University of the Third Age (JUTA) is a non-departmental entity operating within the purview of the Jagiellonian University's pro-vice chancellor for Education. JUTA continues the tradition of the inter-institutional course provision introduced in 1982 by the senates of the Jagiellonian University (UJ) and the then Academy of Medicine. These senates' aim was the dissemination of knowledge among older people and the pro-active management of / positive approach to the ageing process. The Cracow University of the Third Age was one of the first educational entities in Poland providing specifically for senior citizens.
A university (Latin: universitas, "a whole") is an institution of higher (or tertiary) education and research which awards academic degrees in various academic disciplines. Universities typically provide undergraduate education and postgraduate education.
The years of old age are stalls in the cathedral of life in which for aged men to sit and listen and meditate and be patient till the service is over, and in which they may get themselves ready to say "Amen" at the last, with all their hearts and souls and strength.
