Lifelong Learning at Wofford College is entering its second year with a new slate of classes for adult learners.
The new eight-week session will run from Sept. 19 through Nov. 11, with weekly courses along with special programs, workshops and presentations. Enrollment is open now.
“We have nearly two dozen weekly courses, ranging from meditation and gentle movement classes to history, classic TV, music, arts and crafts, and even the birds of South Carolina,” says Morgan Jordan, the new director of Lifelong Learning at Wofford. Jordan took over the position following the retirement of Charlie Gray, a long-time college staff member.
“Lifelong Learning at Wofford was a huge success during its inaugural year last year, and we’re so excited about the offerings for the coming fall session,” Jordan adds.
A “no tests, no homework, just fun” philosophy is ingrained in every aspect of the program. Classes feature hands-on learning activities, audiovisual presentations and small class sizes to create interactive, fun learning, she says.
Each class is taught by local or regional experts, providing the same high standard of instruction expected in a regular Wofford course. “It’s top-notch teaching in an atmosphere of variety and culture,” Jordan says.
Membership in Lifelong Learning at Wofford allows you to register for classes, receive newsletters and mailings from the program, and register for one-time presentations, workshops, seminars and field trips available exclusively to members. A yearly membership is $50 per person; the membership year runs from Sept. 1 through Aug. 31.
