I always learn something new, meet new people, and connect with friends.

With the large variety of choices there was something for everyone.

The quality of classes goes up every time. I keep thinking I might not find as many to take and each time I have to limit my choices!

New Dimensions is one of my favorite activities around town!

We are never disappointed by the presenters, and usually purchase and read any books they base their presentations on.

I'm a first time participant and eager for more.

Your staff works wonders with every resource at hand in our valley to come up with wildly successful lectures that appeal to so many seniors who crave the life-long learning experience.

Learning for fun! Courses involve no tests and no papers — simply learning for the joy of learning in a noncompetitive environment. Volunteer instructors are community members with advanced skills and knowledge in the subject they are teaching. They will maintain a balance of opinion and approach controversial subject with a neutral perspective. Courses are designed to encourage participation and to challenge one's thinking. Join us! Everyone is welcome and encouraged to join regardless of race, creed, color, and/or educational level. More |
