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.

2024 Kauffman Remembrance Day and Award
In a tradition going back to 1992, a luncheon is held each year to honor the memory of Dr. Earl Kauffman, the driving force behind the creation of the Center for Lifelong Learning's predecessor organization in 1989, and the beginning of senior education in Aiken. The 2024 Kauffman Remembrance Day luncheon was held April 24 in the lobby the Etherredge Center at USCA.
Center for Lifelong Learning (CLL) President Raleigh Daniel gave opening remarks regarding the Center's past year's success.
The luncheon is funded in part by an endowment from the family of late USCA Professor James Kauffman to perpetuate the memory of his father. The event is open to all current registered members of the Center for Lifelong Learning.
Kauffman Award Presentation
Part of the Kauffman Remembrance Day memorial is the presentation of the Kauffman Award to an group or individual who has made significant contributions to the Center for Lifelong Learning. This annual award was begun in 1992, three years after the Academy for Lifelong Learning was organized.
Center Vice President Jim Tisaranni presented the award at this year's luncheon to Carl Fields.

Dan has made great strides in improving the curriculum creation and scheduling process, and under his leadership the number of courses presented and their popularity have increased significantly.
