We celebrate our 10th anniversary of lifelong learning at Shepherd University this year. We began in the fall of 2011 and continue seeking members and new programming. Beginning this fall, we are adding the Shepherdstown Film Society (SFS) to our programming. We will continue the mission that was started by the SFS in 2004 and show free films in Reynolds Hall on Friday evenings at 7 p.m., which are open to the public as well as to students, faculty and staff of the University. Each film is followed by a discussion. The Shepherdstown Film Society is a partner with the Scarborough Society. Without their support, SFS would not be possible. COVID-19 did not deter us from holding classes this year; we continued to work through it by Zooming our classes and lectures. As we begin to come out of the pandemic and things begin to open and look normal again, we look forward to having students meet in-person. Shepherd has lifted the mask mandate for all those who are vaccinated. People who have not received a vaccination must still wear a mask on campus in all buildings. Since the pandemic continues to be an evolving situation, we ask that you review Shepherd's current COVID-19 policies at www.shepherd.edu/covid-19. As we prepare for in-person courses and lectures, we are also mindful of those who may be some distance from or not able to come to campus. Or perhaps you don’t want to deal with parking on campus. Whatever KAREN RICE ‘12 M B. .A . the reason, we have purchased Meeting Owl Pro cameras for a hybrid experience. These are state-of-the art cameras that provide a panoramic view of everyone in the classroom and also feature the lecturer as well as Director of Continuing Education those who are Zooming.

We will be offering tours again this fall. Many lifelong learners are ready to travel, see, and be seen. Please take a look at the tours we are offering and sign up today.

We welcome back our recurring instructors with Dr. Rich Casuccio teaching the History of Medicine, Part 2; Mark Kohut facilitating Philip Roth’s Patrimony: A True Story and Bringing Agnes Varda to Life; Dr. Marty Amerikaner presenting Deep Dives using Podcasts; Rev. Terry Culler discussing Evangelicalism: What it is? What it was? Can it Survive?; and Gaby Tokach presenting CATF: Fan Favorites. David Rampy is back with Mozart Operas; Roger Bernstein depicts Poems Inspired by Paintings; Nancy Spannaus will share Why American Slavery Persisted; and Leah Rampy is sharing Exploring The Natural World—Earth’s Wild Music: Celebrating and Defending the Songs Of the Natural World.
