Website Redesign
Posted: 5:26 AM 6/6/2026
Some time in July we will roll out the new design for this website, complete with the schedule of courses for the fall semester. The redesign was guided by modern standards and feedback from you, our students and users, via a survey we emailed to our public mailing list. If you were one of the 115 who responded to the survey, thank you. You overwhelmingly said we should redesign to improve readability and usability. You can read a summary of the survey results here and see a mockup of the new home page here.

Earl S. Kauffman Remembrance Day Luncheon
Dr. Earl F. Kauffman arrived in Aiken at the age of 82 and initiated a planning committee to develop and implement a program for the community's mature residents. In 1990, this committee created a mission statement for what was to become the Academy for Lifelong Learning (later the Center for Lifelong Learning) at the University of South Carolina Aiken.
The annual Earl F. Kauffman Recognition Day and Award is a luncheon hosted annually to celebrate the significant contribution made by Dr. Kauffman. It is made possible by an endowment fund established in 1990 by Dr. James Kauffman upon the death of his father Earl.
This year's luncheon will be held on Monday, May 4, 2026, 12:00 PM until 2:00 PM, in the Etherredge Center Lobby, Lower Level, on campus.
Invitations (with a required RSVP) will be emailed to Center members in March. There is no charge for a member to attend.
