Continued Learning @ UE (CLUE) Announces Upcoming Program Highlights
Evansville, Ind. (07/12/2023) — Continued Learning @ UE (CLUE), the highly acclaimed program designed for individuals approaching or at retirement age, is excited to announce the program highlights for the upcoming year. CLUE provides personal enrichment through non-credit courses that are offered each semester, meeting once a week for five weeks. With a wide range of topics including art, history, literature, music, science, and general interest, CLUE offers an engaging and intellectually stimulating environment for lifelong learners.
One of the key features of the CLUE program is its accessibility and affordability. The cost for each course is only $55, providing exceptional value for the enriching educational experience it offers. Classes within the CLUE program are designed to be engaging and informative, with sessions lasting between 60-90 minutes (about 1 and a half hours). This format allows participants to delve into the subjects of their choice, gaining valuable knowledge and insights from expert instructors.
The CLUE program was initially created in 2016 by former UE President Dr. Tom Kazee and his wife, Sharon. Their vision was to provide a platform for continued learning aimed at retirees and those nearing retirement. The program has since flourished, attracting individuals from the local community and beyond and fostering a vibrant a place where participants can continue their educational journey and explore new interests.
"This is a really a unique program that allows UE to continue our community focused approach and our belief that learning never stops," said Cindy Felts, senior director of the Center for Advancement of Learning. "Age is no barrier to lifelong learning; it is an invitation to never stop growing."
During the 2022-2023 academic year, the CLUE program experienced tremendous success, with 106 community members attending classes. This accomplishment demonstrates the program's ability to provide a valuable and engaging learning experience that resonates with the community.
CLUE is excited to continue offering these educational opportunities to individuals seeking personal enrichment. Whether participants are looking to delve into a new subject, expand their knowledge, or connect with like-minded individuals, CLUE provides the perfect platform for continued learning.
