2025 Winter Lecture Series
Learning Never Grows Old
I continue to be amazed with the course offerings at UMA Senior College. The instructors are extremely well educated and have so much to offer.
This is a fantastic program for retiree’s. It is really nice to have this opportunity to continue learning. I like the 8 week courses – just right for enjoying the classes.
Senior college keeps my mind occupied and enthusiastic.
UMA Senior College is a wonderful way to learn things in my own way without being tested!
I feel very lucky there is Senior College and that there are so many people willing to give their time and effort to share knowledge about such a wide, wide, wide range of topics.
I like the diversity of courses and faculty of the UMASC. It is a jewel of a resource. Thank you for this program.
I recommend UMA Senior College to everyone I come in contact with.
This is a great program, fun place to explore and do new things or follow up on those things we put on the back burner while we raised out families.
The great variety of topics being offered are outstanding and appear to offer some topic to suit nearly every interest a person could have. It’s certainly the best Senior College in the State.
Zoom turned out to be a fine alternative to in-person classes. The level of interaction with the instructors was good and only the real hands-on parts of the instruction was missing.
It was a great experience doing the ZOOM classes. I got to participate in more than if I had had to drive to Augusta. I would have only been able to choose one class but this way I got to do several and it really gave me something to look forward to several times a week.
Hello Folks:
I want to thank all of you for making these lecture series available during the January/February time period. I look forward to the different programs.
In all my classes at the Senior College, the instructors have been first-rate.
I have been privileged to participate in classes full of intelligent, infinitely curious, talented, and friendly individuals who want to learn—or teach—their specialty! I am happily meeting new people, making friends, and learning, which I love.
