Encore 55+ Learning’s 50th Anniversary Celebration at Western Campus at Cuyahoga Community College Western Campus – Parma, OH

Encore 55+ Learning is celebrating 50 years and we want you to celebrate with us!

Register by Tuesday, Oct. 7

In 1973, Iris Whittington Gold envisioned an educational, fun and social learning experience for older adults — and with the support of her supervisor, that vision took shape. Just one year later, in 1974, the Encore 55+ Learning Program Pilot launched at the Eastern Campus. It has since expanded to the Western Campus. It has also reached into the community through Neighborhood Scholars and offers flexible, virtual learning with Encore On-the-Go.Now, 50 years later, we’re honored and inspired by the incredible growth of this program — and we invite you to celebrate this milestone with us!

Join us for one of two unforgettable celebrations:

• Friday, Oct. 10 at the Western Campus in Parma
