Why drift through life when you can SAIL? WHAT IS SAIL? SAIL is a lifelong learning program offered at Collin College to members, 55 years of age and older, living in Collin and surrounding counties. It was modeled after the Elder Hostel Institute for Learning. Classes are non-credit; there are no tests, grades or papers to write. The sheer joy of learning and becoming more informed is the goal of SAIL members. SAIL offers classes in Fall, Spring and Summer with social activities throughout the year along with Guest Lecturers and Visiting Professors who share exciting topics and experiences. The SAIL program includes talented instructors, college professors, and business leaders with categorical expertise. We offer a wide array of courses such as history, literature, current events, art appreciation and enrichment courses. SAIL provides members and instructors the opportunity to participate in study, discussion and social interaction. The sole purpose of SAIL which started in fall 1996 was and continues to be providing interesting and exceptional lifelong learning courses at Collin College. The only requirement is a passion for learning! Classes are conveniently held during the week between 9:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. and parking is free at all campuses. Interested in becoming involved and volunteering with SAIL or your community? Volunteering will give you an opportunity to meet other SAIL students while supporting the program and your community.
