At the Princeton Adult School, we fully support that premise and it is evident in our mantra, “Learning Never Ends.” We invite you to join us in 2020 and explore the more than 200 classes we offer in areas such as the arts, home and garden, food and drink, world languages, and health and wellness, among others. We also offer several excellent lecture series throughout the semester. Our main lecture series, Africa, is held on Tuesday nights at the Friend Center Auditorium and is co-hosted by Princeton Adult School and the Community Auditing Program of Princ- eton University’s Office of Community and Regional Affairs. Please visit our informative website at www.princetonadultschool.org and check out our interactive brochure to find a class that’s right for you. You can also call us at (609) 683-1101 if you have any questions or ideas for us. Let 2020 be the year you connect with others in our community who believe that learning never ends. All the best for the coming year, Darren L.
