In the last year, we invested significant effort to shape our curriculum in order to provide more of the programs you want. Through focus groups we discovered the desire for small interactive classes, where a student could engage with the instructor and their peers in a smaller classroom atmosphere. With a grant we received from the Bernard Osher Foundation, we were able to partner with the FAU Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters to develop a program to recruit highly acclaimed FAU Ph.D. students to facilitate small class discussions on their research in the subject areas of Blaxploitation Cinema; Turning Personal Stories into Memoir; Cuban Cinema; The “Grand Tour” of Italy through Literature, Music and Film; Andean Music and Dance; and Transgender Politics and Screen Culture. In addition, Lifelong Learning in Jupiter continues to be significantly involved in promoting the use of online platforms for registration and communication. In the fall of 2014, we kicked off our “Interactions” initiative with a new look to our weekly emails, a member information table in the lobby at the beginning of each semester to answer questions and our first annual member orientation that was held in January.
