The Academy for Lifelong Learning (ALL) at Lone Star College-Montgomery, a program for the 50-plus retired or semi-retired community, will host an open house on Saturday, August 21, from 11 a.m.-1 p.m., in The Commons (Building A). The public is invited, and entertainment and refreshments will be provided.
The open house is a chance to learn about the new and recurring ALL lectures and classes being offered during the upcoming fall semester, as well as meet some of the class instructors, socialize with other academy members, and register for any lecture or class. It’s also a great time to find out what’s happening on campus with construction and other projects, as well as start celebrating the program’s 10th anniversary.
“With nearly 900 members, the ALL program is extremely proud to kick-off this fall semester and begin celebrating 10 years of program growth and success,” said Donna Smith Burns, continuing education program coordinator at LSC-Montgomery.
Also at the open house, the Instructor of the Year will be recognized and the new advisory committee members will be announced.
“The ALL members are a very active and motivated group,” said Celyn Christophe, director of continuing education at LSC-Montgomery. “They are inspired by this signature program, which continues to get better year after year.”
ALL is a membership organization filled with lectures, seminars, and discussions geared toward the older, active adult interested in remaining “plugged in” to the academic, learning environment. The classes are informal and informational and cover a variety of topics such as art, computer technology, personal growth, languages, history, travel and more.
“We are proud of this program and the impact that it has on the 50-plus population in our community,” said Christophe. “We anticipate continued success at LSC-Montgomery for this upcoming year.”
A small annual membership fee of $35 allows members to take academy courses free of charge or at a minimal rate. The annual membership lasts from September 1 to August 31.
Each of the five colleges within the Lone Star College System offer continuing education for their older, active adults through an ALL organization. Course offerings and program events vary with each campus.
