Semester Completed

Posted: 4:15 PM 4/30/2026
We have just completed a successful spring semester, both in number of students served and number of courses presented. If you took some of our courses, we thank you. Even before the spring semester was completed, CLL volunteers were hard at work on the fall semester that will begin in August. Come back to this website in mid-July to learn what new and exciting learning opportunities we have for you. See you then.

Thank You

Posted: 4:00 PM 4/30/2026
We recently sent our mailing list a survey asking if we needed to update our website design. If you were one of the 103 who responded to the survey, thank you. As a group, you overwhelmingly said we should redesign to improve readability and usability. We will post the survey results on the website in the next week or so. We will be redesigning the website over the next two months. We expect the new website to be ready in July when we post the fall semester schedule.
