LIFELONG LEARNING,
If you are seeking something new to capture your interest, take a moment to peruse the many fascinating and fun courses within in the Emeritus program, all offered to you at a discounted enrollment fee indicated by the EC after the five-digit Course Number in the description. Perhaps you aspire to be more adventurous and want to get out and explore our phenomenal landscape in California Geology: The Once and Future Land, including field trips to Point Reyes and Ring Mountain on the Tiburon Peninsula; or it might be that you want to finally seriously pursue a new hobby, such as Bird-Watching in Marin: A Field Exploration where students learn to identify the local birds by sight or by their distinctive bird song, learning both in the classroom and in the field on bird-watching walks. It might be possible that this summer you want to get into the ‘swim’ of things by taking Aqua Exercise for Active Adults at the beautiful Kentfield Campus pool. Maybe you want to brush up on your Conversational Spanish through a series of classes before a big vacation to a Spanish-speaking country, to make the most of your travel experience, or if you choose to stay closer to home, you might enjoy several of the creative writing classes offered in the Emeritus College, such as How to Write Flash Fiction—and Why You Want To, Elements of Creative Writing, or Tales Told from Memory, where you can develop your own memoirs. It’s time to follow your bliss and do what you love! Please join us—you will be in great company.
