we will learn about the world around us,
what part humans play and what we can
do to preserve our natural resources. Each
campus will find unique and creative ways to
explore this theme as the year unfolds through
science, art, music and literature.
Virtual Learning
In person classes were suspended last spring due to COVID-19 but our learning
continues! The campuses meet weekly and many participants have continued
teaching via Zoom. Spring semester begins at the beginning of April and we will

about when we can meet again in person. Please join us this spring for some
exciting online classes!
