Dear SRJC Community, 

I’m pleased to share that the SRJC Older Adults Program will now be known as SRJC Lifelong Learning.  

While our work providing transfer, associate degrees, and certificates is foundational to our mission, SRJC also fosters a culture of intellectual curiosity and personal enrichment by offering a diverse range of classes primarily focused on our older adult community. I believe community colleges should also serve as hubs for holistic education, promoting the idea that learning is a lifelong pursuit, not limited by age or stage in life. 

SRJC Lifelong Learning more adeptly describes and connects the members of our community to the various opportunities we offer to encourage critical thinking, creativity, and social engagement. Our instructors and classes focus on creating a welcoming environment that gives students of all ages a sense of connection and leads to a better overall quality of life.  The program encourages adults to continue to learn, grow, and build relationships in a supportive community for the sheer joy of learning and exploring.

We look forward to expanding this beloved program’s course offerings and opening up a world of possibilities for this population to learn new skills, stay active, and connect with new people. 

Please help us welcome our community into SRJC Lifelong Learning by visiting the new website at https://lifelong.santarosa.edu.  

In community, 

Dr. Angélica Garcia, Ed.D.
