Building A Lifelong Learning Center From Scratch: One year, One Thousand Served

martes, el 28 de octubre de 2014 a las 11:10–11:30 PDT
Flash Session 4
Session Description

The Rollins Center for Lifelong Learning STARS (Senior Tars) program is for seniors fifty and older and modeled after the liberal arts. Students take four week courses in a variety of topics reflective of a liberal education. Pricing is competitive and response has been overwhelming. The program received seed funding from the Winter Park Health Foundation and met its third year enrollment goal within the first six months of operation. Programs of this nature are a good way to build community relations while attracting new college supporters and prospective donors. The RCLL won this year’s ACHE national award for Outstanding Model Program. Future plans will be discussed.
