Get Ready for Fall Semester
Posted: 6:27 AM 7/4/2025
Happy Fourth of July! We are a week away from posting the fall semester schedule here on the website. Be sure to come back on July 11 to review the fall courses. Then, select the ones you want to register for at Open House on August 12 at 9:00 AM in B&E Room 122 (online registration also opens at that time). The printed catalog will be mailed to those on the catalog mailing list in a few weeks.
Goodbye to the Tech Center
Posted: 6:21 AM 6/26/2025
For the upcoming fall semester, our Technology classes will be held in the Business & Education Building, Room 238F. That is because university construction will displace the Tech Center, where those classes have been held.
That will be a sad day for the volunteers in the Tech Section. We have worked and taught in the Tech Center since January 2008. We worked there first in the SeniorNet organization. In January 2015, SeniorNet became the McGrath Computer Learning Center. In July 2021, McGrath merged with the Academy for Lifelong Learning, forming the Center for Lifelong Learning.
We're looking forward to a new classroom for Technology courses. We plan to make it even better than the Tech Center was.
Save the Date!

We are about 2 months from the Open House & Registration for the fall semester. The schedule for fall courses will be posted on this website and the printed catalog will be mailed in about a month. Make your plans now to attend the Open House (8/12, 9 am, B&E 122) and register for a fall semester course. Classes will begin August 18.
Announcement of Merger
On July 23, 2021, a meeting was held in Room 122 of the B&E Building on the campus of USC Aiken to publicly announce the merger of the Academy of Lifelong Learning and the McGrath Computer Learning Center to form the Center for Lifelong Learning. About 30 volunteers, USC Aiken staff, and the media attended.
Remarks were made by Paul Crook, Executive Director of the Etherredge Center and External Programs; Dr. Daniel Heimmermann, Chancellor of USC Aiken; Dr. Daren Timmons, Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs; Wayne Rickman, Chairperson of McGrath Computer Learning Center, Inc.; Harriet Haynes, President of the Academy for Lifelong Learning; and Karen Edgington, former Director of External Programs, whose leadership led to the merger of the two organizations long associated with USC Aiken Continuing Education.
The remarks were followed by formally signing the merger agreement. The signers are shown in the picture below.
