Learning & Growing Together LEARNING AND GROWING TOGETHER Welcome to the Fall 2021 edition of the Lifelong Learning catalog. This semester is our transition back to in-person learning. I'm so excited to see you in the classroom again. Some classes will be entirely in person. Some classes will be entirely via Zoom. However, the majority of classes will have the choice for either. There are a lot of options for you from a delicious holiday cocktail class to Stretch and Flex to a history class spanning five decades taught by Russ Gifford. I will be on maternity leave for a majority of the semester. While I am gone, I will have help from various areas of the college and an instructor with whom Mara Hall you may be familiar. Crystal Huls, from Crystal’s Craft Corner, will be Institute for Lifelong Learning available to help with a lot of the background management of the program. Western Iowa Tech Community College I hope you find classes that help you learn and bring you joy. I hope the 712-274-8733, ext. 1864 world continues to become safer, so we are able to keep getting back to more [email protected] and more in-person learning and growing together. Stay safe and healthy. Look for the Zoom icon to indicate Zoom-only classes. The rest of the classes will be held in person. If you would like to attend an in-person class via Zoom, please contact Mara, Crystal, or a registration clerk. We will do our best to accommodate. Two full weeks notice is required to ensure Zoom setup.
