N.C. History Series

Freddie Kiger ’74 (’77 MAT) leads our N.C. History Series. Freddie has partnered with the GAA since 1995 and brings more than 40 years of teaching experience to his lectures. He has a bachelor’s degree in history and a master of arts in teaching with an emphasis in history. Freddie’s career and passion has always included sports as well as teaching. The ESPN statistician and three-time Emmy Award winner is noted for his storytelling and does just that for two popular podcasts: The GAA’s Hark the Sounds podcast and Threads from the National Tapestry, a podcast covering the American Civil War.

Tuition for in person classes: $40 per lecture; $25 per lecture for GAA members
Tuition for virtual classes: $28 per lecture; $18 per lecture for GAA members

GAA member discount only pertains to the member. If you are a member and your spouse/guest is not a member, your spouse/guest tuition must be at the standard rate. The GAA verifies membership prior to final processing.

Refunds for lectures: Tuition is fully refundable for any cancellation made three weeks prior to the lecture. Any cancellation after that time is subject to a 50 percent fee. No tuition is refunded if the cancellation is made within 24 hours of the lecture.

Changing lectures: We will be happy to accommodate lecture change requests made within five business days prior to the lecture.

Lecture dates may change due to unforeseen scheduling conflicts. If you are unable to attend the rescheduled date, tuition will be refunded in full.
