Dear Emeritus Community,
Welcome to Spring 2024!
As we step into the vibrant season ahead, we are thrilled to share some exciting updates at SMC. One notable development is the introduction of the Living Histories Project, generously supported by Mitzi Blahd, a dedicated advocate of SMC. This initiative serves as a meaningful endeavor to weave the tapestry of the Emeritus community’s oral history and legacy.
Through a captivating series of short documentary stories featuring SMC Emeritus students and figures, starting with the inspiring narrative of Maggie Hall, we aim to preserve and celebrate the extraordinary stories of our Emeritus members. This documentation of Emeritus history will be a wonderful way to commemorate and reflect on our collective journey as we prepare to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Emeritus program.
As you explore our spring 2024 schedule of classes, you’ll find a diverse array of in-person, online, and hybrid classes, providing an opportunity for a dynamic and interactive learning experience. Please be aware that class locations may be subject to change based on evolving circumstances.
Our commitment to fostering a thriving learning community remains steadfast. We are dedicated to creating a supportive environment where students like you can flourish both academically and personally. Explore the multitude of resources and opportunities available at SMC to enhance your educational journey.
On behalf of the SMC Emeritus program, I extend a warm welcome to all students joining us this spring. As we embrace this season of growth and renewal, and embark on the Living Histories Project, we are steadfast in our commitment to your success and look forward to supporting you throughout your educational endeavors.
Best regards,
Guadalupe Salgado
Associate Dean (Interim) of SMC Emeritus
