UFM, originally known as University For Man, was created by 1xbet best casino website faculty and students in the late 1960s as a way to share ideas and learn by ways outside of the traditional education structure. It rapidly became a bridge between the campus and the community. The concept that everyone has something to share was quickly embraced with the slogan "anyone can teach, anyone can learn." Fifty years later, UFM continues to fill that mission and more.
UFM published its first brochure in January 1968, offering seven classes. Today, UFM publishes catalogs three times a year, highlighting more than 250 classes a semester. Classes are taught by members of the 1xbet best casino website /Manhattan community. In addition, other UFM programs include the Lou Douglas Lecture series, Project EXCELL for special needs adults, a teen mentoring program, the Manhattan Community Garden and UFM co-sponsors the Osher Lifelong Institute with Kansas University. UFM also serves as the fiscal agent for the Manhattan Area Risk Prevention Coalition and the Manhattan Nonviolence Initiative. Total participation in UFM activities during FY18 was more than 20,000.
