Spring Printed Catalog (Updated)
Posted: 10:10 PM 12/30/2025
The Center for Lifelong Learning program listings for the spring semester are included in the USCA External Programs Spring 2026 Catalog. The catalog has been printed but due to unexpected delays was not bulk mailed by the printer until December 24. Bulk mail is not known to be speedy so people on the catalog mailing list may may not receive their copies until after the first of the year.
Meanwhile, the CLL portion of the catalog is already available as a download from the CLL website at this link. Note: If you've already downloaded a copy with a date prior to 12/29/2025 shown at the bottom of the cover, please download the current copy, which has the correct page numbers in the Course Description section and beyond.
Those not receiving mailed copies can pick up the printed catalog, once they have been delivered by the printer, from the External Programs offices in the USCA Business & Education Building, Rooms 103, 104, and 105.
The current catalog release status will be posted on this website.

Events
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.
