Welcome to SMC Emeritus!
Dear Emeritus Community,
Welcome to spring 2025! I am thrilled to update you on the exciting events and activities that await us this semester as we continue celebrating the vibrant spirit of lifelong learning that defines our Emeritus program.
As part of our Let’s See SMC! series, we’ve already enjoyed two wonderful field trips. We explored the scenic Malibu Campus and attended the Giving Thanks(giving) event at the Main Campus, which provided groceries and hot meals for students in need. Looking ahead, this spring we’ll be visiting the Early Childhood Lab School, Bundy Campus, the Performing Arts Center, and the Center for Media and Design. We hope you’ll join us for these enriching experiences!
You may have also noticed our beautiful cover. It’s a sneak peek at our upcoming Fifty-Over-50 campaign, which celebrates inspiring Emeritus students and figures. Stay tuned for a full feature showcasing all participants — coming soon!
To keep up with announcements about upcoming and past events, please visit our Emeritus webpage. We also look forward to our culminating event on May 21, 2025, at the SMC Main Campus at 1900 Pico Blvd., Santa Monica, to mark 50 years of lifelong learning. Join us in celebrating both our rich past and exciting future as we look forward to continuing our journey together for the next 50 years.
Here’s to a wonderful spring semester, full of learning, connection, and celebration!
Warmly,
Guadalupe Salgado-Shower
Interim Associate Dean, Emeritus Program
