Working with the Encore program is an invaluable experience. Not only do we work with exceptional instructors and participants, but everyone is dedicated to the program’s purpose — to educate and be a part of an experience that exists because of the love of learning. We enjoy giving individuals the opportunity to learn what they have always wanted to learn and to meet new people who have the same interests they do. Encore is valuable because of everyone who is a part of it — both internally and externally.  Thank you, everyone!

I have enjoyed working with Encore students for the past five years. It is exciting to hear such positive feedback from the many folks who attend Encore year after year. Our participants are our best form of advertisement. Most new participants have learned about Encore from family and friends.

When explaining the features and benefits of Encore to potential students, it is such a thrill to hear them remark what a great value the program is and how they cannot wait to get started.

Tri-C’s Encore program is a great way for individuals 55 and older to continue learning and growing — with no grades or homework! It is just a fun learning environment. I truly enjoy working with our students and instructors, who bring diverse backgrounds and experiences into the classroom!

The Encore program provides adults 55 and over an opportunity to remain relevant in today’s fast-paced world. I especially enjoy the interaction between instructors, participants and College administration at Tri-C’s Western Campus. Just being on a college campus is energizing to me — it’s almost like taking a mini vacation once a week. No books, no homework and no tests necessary.

This is my 15th year as an Encore site facilitator. As I look back over the years, so many things stand out as rewarding experiences. I cherish all the wonderful friendships I have made with so many people with so many diverse life skills. I am encouraged by the enthusiasm that our students have for enriching their lives by taking our classes. The dedication of our wonderful staff and instructors have to improve the program and creating the best experience for students is evident in every new session. Though there are challenges, somehow we always make it through — together.
