Life Long Learning’s Favorite Instructor

Your college has never had an instructor that was so knowledgable, energetic and passionate about history. Ric Mixter has taught thousands of students, from elementary school to trade schools and colleges. And with COVID restrictions, he’s mastered how to engage students remotely with his enthusiasm and exclusive interviews and video. From archive footage to new underwater images of shipwrecks, Ric’s moving picture library is unmatched in the Great Lakes. It’s no wonder several Life Long Learning institutes have had him back for countless presentations!

Here’s why Ric’s Lectures Attract So Many Zoom Students:

I was very impressed with Mr. Mixter’s presentation! He is an excellent speaker, very knowledgeable and personable! It is obvious that he is very passionate about his work.

“We have partnered with Ric for six presentations; Edmund Fitzgerald Investigations, Safe Ashore, Offshore Outposts, The Cedarville and Bottled Goodbyes. Each session averaged about 100 people registering. In our follow-up surveys, almost all of Ric's ratings for speaker and content came in at 5 out of 5. The comments praised Ric for his deep knowledge of, and enthusiasm for, the various topics. I would highly recommend Ric's programs. They have been very successful via Zoom, and we look forward to having him speak in person when the situation allows.” -Christy Lyons Director of Corporate and Community Education North Central Michigan College

Topics for Osher Life Long Learning at Saginaw Valley State included 3 classes in Famous Shipwrecks and 3 classes in Lighthouses of the Great Lakes!
