WINTER CLASSES I 2014

“Anyone who keeps learning stays young.”

-- H. Ford

Dear Lifelong Learners:

Aristotle wrote over two thousand years ago, that “Education

is the best provision for old age.”

Benedictine University Center for Lifelong Learning offers lifelong learners

the opportunity to challenge their mind, engage their spirit and join an

active community with similar interest in education. This winter semester,

we offer over 40 classes including several evening classes through the

Naperville Park Department. We have also partnered with the Naperville

Public Library to present a computer technology class at the Moser Center.

We invite you to share our winter classes with your family, friends, neigh-

bors and community. Be sure to visit our website (www.ben.edu/CLL) for

updates, new programs on campus and other helpful information.

Thank you for your continued support for the Benedictine University Center

for Lifelong Learning.

Best wishes,
