Goodbye to the Tech Center

Posted: 6:21 AM 6/26/2025
For the upcoming fall semester, our Technology classes will be held in the Business & Education Building, Room 238F. That is because university construction will displace the Tech Center, where those classes have been held.

That will be a sad day for the volunteers in the Tech Section. We have worked and taught in the Tech Center since January 2008. We worked there first in the SeniorNet organization. In January 2015, SeniorNet became the McGrath Computer Learning Center. In July 2021, McGrath merged with the Academy for Lifelong Learning, forming the Center for Lifelong Learning.

We're looking forward to a new classroom for Technology courses. We plan to make it even better than the Tech Center was.

Save the Date!

We are about 2 months from the Open House & Registration for the fall semester. The schedule for fall courses will be posted on this website and the printed catalog will be mailed in about a month. Make your plans now to attend the Open House (8/12, 9 am, B&E 122) and register for a fall semester course. Classes will begin August 18.
