"I have lived in the area for over 20 years and recently retired from a job that required extensive global travel. I really had no idea what the college had to offer. Once I got the opportunity, I decided to look into the offerings for adults at the college. I had a great experience with the welding class, a RAP class on History's Greatest Explorers and Beekeeping 101. I always thought I would want to retire to a college town because of the culture and continuing education opportunities. Much to my surprise, it looks like I am living in a college town!"
