Dear Friends,

Hope you had a wonderful summer, and we're looking forward to seeing you in fall quarter classes!

Keep in mind that there are several ways you can take classes with us. If you are an adult of any age, our seminars and workshops are designed with your interests in mind. If you are age 60 or better, you may also audie credit classes tuition free on a space available basis; you may also sign up for classes presented at off-campus sites throughout the community.

You can learn things you need to know, such as managing your financial assets for retirement, how to use that PC, and how to use Sinclair's online schedule—or you can learn things that you'd like to know, such as how to remain optimistic, Dayton history, and the dimensions of wellness.

If you want to launch a new career, enroll in credit classes and work toward a degree or certificate, just as any other student. In addition, a number of our seminars and workshops are under the New Direction category, can help you as well—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 has students who have attended these sessions and who have interviewed for and been offered jobs. Sinclair can help you find that new position!

Have you noticed the incredible range in age of our students? We have a young student in his 20's who attened the SEEK Conference; an 82-year-old woman who is pursuing a degree in Sociology; and, others even older who are taking art, aerobics and adapted wheelchair dance. We hope that inspires you to enjoy our classes and keep learning throughout your lifetime.

As you read this, we will be putting the finishing touches on our 7th annual SEEK Conference. We are also preparing to host educators from around the state for a conference that will share information about lifelong learning programs.

In order to offer you an accessible, affordable, high quality program, feel free to pass on any ideas you may have to me or any of our advisory board members. It's important to keep learning—from you and from others.

Best Wishes,
