Lone Star College offers various programming for all populations.
For example, the Academy for Lifelong Learning (ALL) at Lone Star College-Kingwood, has many free and low-cost classes and events for retired, semi-retired, and working adults aged 50 and older. The activities are perfect for those seeking new friends or interests.
“Our goal is to provide non-credit courses, lectures, and activities that will expand our members’ knowledge and develop their social connections,” said Pat Chandler, continuing education director at LSC-Kingwood and ALL program manager for LSC.
Attendees can learn more about the offerings at the ALL Open House on Friday, Aug. 19, from 1-3 p.m. in the Administration and Performing Arts (APA) Center Atrium. This event will cover enrollment, membership dues, and upcoming classes. Additionally, instructors will have tables at the event to provide more information on their courses.
“Thanks to everyone for their efforts, particularly for keeping ALL alive during these difficult times. Again, I have enjoyed the classes and appreciate the new knowledge I have gained,” said Dennis Schaffer, an ALL member.

This fall, courses will cover a variety of interests in computer and technology, culture, fitness and health, games, gardening, history, movies, music, theatre, politics, reading, safety, science and nature, senior issues, and much more.
