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.

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.
Spring Semester Completed
Posted: 12:15 PM 5/2/2025
The Spring 2025 semester has ended. CLL staff are hard at work developing the courses that will be taught during the Fall semester, which will begin in August 2025. Come back to this website in July to see the line-up of over 90 courses to be offered in the Fall semester.
New Agreement
On January 11, 2024, a ceremony was held in Room 144 of the B&E Building on the campus of USC Aiken to sign a new agreement between the Center for Lifelong Learning and the University of South Carolina Aiken. Under the agreement, the Center becomes a program of the University. Heretofore, the Center was an independent, volunteer-run organization with strong ties to the University.
Students attending the Center's courses will perceive little difference in its courses, programs, and operation. The Center volunteers will continue to develop the curriculum and staff the classes. The primary changes will be behind-the-scenes, reflected in the administration of the organization.
The ceremony was attended by the staff of USCA's Office of External Programs and most of the Board of Directors (Vice-president, Publicity Chair, and Webmaster absent) of the Center. See list of attendees at bottom of page.
Remarks were made by Dr. Daniel Heimmermann, Chancellor of USC Aiken, and Raleigh Daniel, President of the Center for Lifelong Learning. See picture below.
The remarks were followed by formally signing the new agreement.
