COLLEGE FOR LIFELONG LEARNING

Welcome from the Coordinator

Dear Friends,

Happy spring and welcome again to the College for Lifelong Learning's Spring Quarter schedule of classes.

As this message is written, spring is still several months away. But at one of our sessions this Winter Quarter, a guest speaker laid out four ways to "maintain your brain"—and of course, exercising the brain by learning new things or doing new things was included on the list. Other "to do's" were exercising our bodies physically, managing our numbers (weight, blood pressure, etc.), watching what we eat, and staying socially engaged.

Of course, Sinclair's Lifelong Learning program can help you achieve each of these "maintenance" guidelines. All of our sessions provide the opportunity to learn and do new things… our PED classes give the opportunity for exercise and physical fitness… our Healthy Eating class will help with diet… physical fitness and diet will help manage those "numbers" …and all our sessions offer the chance to meet new people and make new friends, helping you stay engaged with life.

So, with that in mind, I encourage you to sign up for classes, if you're a new student, and to continue with classes, if you're one of our returning students. For adults of any age, we have a varied selection of Seminars & Workshops under the topics of New Directions, Health & Well-Being, Computers & Technology, Arts & Entertainment, and History & Culture. If you are age 60 or better, you may also audit credit classes tuition free on a space-available basis, and in addition, you may sign up for classes presented at 24 off-campus sites throughout the community.

And don't forget—if you are interested in beginning a new career, Sinclair can help you do that, too. Enroll in our credit classes and work toward a degree or certificate, just as any other student. You will find people who will help you begin your path and see that you move in the right direction. In addition, a number of our Seminars & Workshops under New Directions can provide help—such as how to write your resume, tips for a successful interview, and how to use your experience as a positive in the job market.

Sinclair's founder, David Sinclair, said, "Find the need and endeavor to meet it." If there are other classes that you would like to see on our schedule, please let me or any of our Advisory Board members know and we will do our best to meet your need.

Thank you for your continued interest. And we look forward to helping you "maintain your brain," while enjoying life and sharing new possibilities with others.

Best Wishes,

Anne Holaday
