 7 life adults forty years of age or older who are seeking to explore life
 8 options, remain civically engaged, continue their education and acquire
 9 skills for or begin to plan for a second career, including entrepreneu-
 10 rial instruction.
 11 2. The board of trustees of the state university shall select the
 12 location of such centers on campuses of colleges and universities with a

 20 new careers for their next stage of life, and help universities meet the
 21 demands of this group. The following shall be the priority activities of
