Noncredit Retirement University debuts at Stark State College

Retirement University, a new series of continuing education classes especially designed for those who are retired or are about to retire, will begin in February at Stark State College of Technology.

“This is the age of lifelong learning,” said Russ O’Neill, director of continuing education at Stark State. “Older members of our community are eager to learn new things that will enhance their lives. We have attempted to develop classes that meet their needs and interests and that are conveniently scheduled and priced.”

Several courses offered in the first session of Retirement University are: Navigating the Internet, Getting the Most from Your Email, Mastering the Medicare/Medicaid Maze, Literacy Skills for Grandparents, Scrapbooking Memories, and Mixed Media Art. Personal Electronics 101 will provide participants with a basic overview and operational understanding of today’s most popular personal electronic devices including cell phones, iPods, digital cameras and home theaters. All classes are held during the day at Stark State’s Advanced Technology Center with adjacent parking and accessibility.
