Coastal Senior College

......providing lifelong learning for seniors in Midcoast Maine

2008-09 Board of Directors

Coastal Senior College (CSC) provides intellectual stimulation and good company through classes and special events for seniors in the Midcoast. Volunteer-driven and managed, CSC is part of Maine's growing Maine Senior College Network affiliated with Campuses and Outreach Centers of the University of Maine System.

CSC was begun by a group of volunteers from Knox and Lincoln Counties. Classes were offered for the first time in March 2002 at University College Rockland (UCR), with an enrollment of more than 140 students. CSC's annual membership fee of $25 entitles you to take classes in all other senior college locations as well. Courses are offered in arts, humanities, social sciences, science, technology, health, and finance, and are held in Damariscotta, Newcastle, Rockland, and Camden.

Highly knowledgeable instructors lead classes that typically meet for two hours during the week, usually for a full eight-week semester, which should allow you to fit at least one class into your schedule. There are no grades, exams, or term papers required.

Special events, forums, lectures, and field trips are also offered to CSC members throughout the year. Additional benefits of CSC membership include the opportunity to join the governing board and operating committees, and volunteer opportunities such as planning special events, assisting instructors, and helping with office tasks.

Senior College is open to all seniors 50 years of age or more, and to their spouses or partners, who value education and have inquiring minds.

A Special Thank You

Coastal Senior College is grateful for its many collaborators. We especially extend our thanks to Rockland, Skidompha, Camden and Thomaston libraries and to the Farnsworth Museum and the Center for Maine Contemporary Art.

We are very appreciative of the many other venues hosting our classes, including Rockland Senior spectrum. Watts Hall and St. John's Episcopal Church in Thomaston, Camden Hills Regional High School, Lincoln Home in Newcastle, Schooner Cove, First Universalist Church, in Rockland, Damariscotta River Association, and Central Lincoln County Ambulance in Damariscotta.

A very special thanks goes to our home at University College Rockland, not just for classroom space and visual aid equipment, but also to the office staff for handling all the registrations, bookkeeping, and many other details for us. Their work has made it possible for a small volunteer board and some dedicated committee members to consistently offer a wide range of courses in a number of locations in both Knox and Lincoln County.
