Going to College: It's Not Just for Teenagers Anymore
It may come as a surprise that only twenty percent of today’s college students are 18–22 year-olds. In a society that is quickly changing and an employment market that values constant upgrading of credentials, many colleges and universities have developed programs specifically designed for adult learners. This session will give you an opportunity to ask your questions, address concerns and discover how you can be a highly effective college student.

Maintaining Balance in Your Life
Remember the commercial, “Calgon take me away”? If you do and can relate to it, then this session is what you are looking for. Somewhere along the way we forgot about ourselves. We got caught up in the clutter and disorganization of everyday living. This workshop will help you identify ways to manage the very difficult task of balancing work, family and other commitments such as school, volunteering or a second job. Learn key strategies to help you take back your life and control it without it managing you.

Return to Learning
The mission of this workshop is to demonstrate to the participants the vast amount of “college-level learning” they’ve acquired throughout their adult lives, and how to translate this learning into concrete examples. These learning examples can be used to fulfill a personal revelation, acquire future college credit or to secure a new employment or volunteer opportunity.
