Printed Catalogs 'Sold Out'
Posted: 2:56 PM 8/18/2025
We have good news and bad news. The good news is that the response to our fall semester enrollment has been fantastic. The bad news is that we have distributed all of the catalogs printed for this semester. If you have asked to be added to our catalog mailing list but have not received one, we regret to say we cannot send you one for the current fall semester. We will make sure you get one for the spring 2026 semester when it is mailed in December.
In the meanwhile, you can use the resources on the CLL website. Go to the topical index of courses and click on a course name to see all its detail. You can also download an electronic copy of the catalog.

2024 Kauffman Remembrance Day and Award
In a tradition going back to 1992, a luncheon is held each year to honor the memory of Dr. Earl Kauffman, the driving force behind the creation of the Center for Lifelong Learning's predecessor organization in 1989, and the beginning of senior education in Aiken. The 2024 Kauffman Remembrance Day luncheon was held April 24 in the lobby the Etherredge Center at USC Aiken.
Center for Lifelong Learning (CLL) President Raleigh Daniel gave opening remarks regarding the Center's past year's success.
The luncheon is funded in part by an endowment from the family of late USCA Professor James Kauffman to perpetuate the memory of his father. The event is open to all current registered members of the Center for Lifelong Learning.
Kauffman Award Presentation
Part of the Kauffman Remembrance Day memorial is the presentation of the Kauffman Award to an group or individual who has made significant contributions to the Center for Lifelong Learning. This annual award was begun in 1992, three years after the Academy for Lifelong Learning was organized.
Center Vice President Jim Tisaranni presented the award at this year's luncheon to Carl Fields.
Dan Gluvna Receives Inaugural President's Award
In his President's message, President Daniel introduced the creation of the new President's Award. Dan Gluvna, Chair of the General Interest Curriculum Committee, is its first recipient.
Dan has made great strides in improving the curriculum creation and scheduling process, and under his leadership the number of courses presented and their popularity have increased significantly.
