Confucius scholars offer courses to public

Pitt-Bradford's Confucius Scholars will offer three enrichment courses to the public this winter and spring.

Tai Chi for Everyone will be held from 6 to 7 p.m. every Monday from Jan. 25 through April 11 in the fifth-floor ballroom of the Seneca Building at 2 Main St. in Bradford.
