Learning for the joy of it with no tests, grades or credit associated with the educational experiences! Discover the joy of lifelong learning with other adults, age 50 and beyond, who share a common desire to learn. ElderCollege is a membership organization for active adults, regardless of their educational background. There are no tests or grades, although a few classes do have assignments - if you take a painting or writing class you can expect to paint or write! A LITTLE HISTORY Since the first four classes offered in the fall of 1994, ElderCollege has grown in numbers and educational offerings. The Elderhostel Institute Network assisted the founding members in forming this Lifelong Learning Institute (LLI). This Institute was the brainchild of Fr. William Cunningham who heard about this type of program on a national news program and from fellow members of a hiking club he belonged to. He gathered three friends (Davis Sunderland, LaMar Christy and Robert Van Hook) to help him research and expand upon the idea for our area. Several established institutes were visited to gain an understanding of how other programs were organized. They visited with Dr. Charlotte Lee and established Terra Community College as the program host. These men, along with others who joined them in their efforts, organized an informational meeting to see if there was interest in our area to move forward. This first meeting attracted many adults interested in establishing a lifelong learning organization. ElderCollege was born! Several thousand adults interested in participating in lifelong learning have attended classes or gone on educational outings with ElderCollege since 1994. Courses in art appreciation, computers, history, music, literature, science, and many more subjects generate interest each year and discussions often exceed the confines of the classroom walls. Outings have been taken to local and regional sites of interest for hands-on learning and in-depth historical perspective. Cooperative science and nature programs continue to be offered through the Sandusky County Parks District. More than forty members serve in leadership positions each year to keep ElderCollege functioning. They serve three-year rotating terms on one of the following committees: Steering, Curriculum, Executive, Travel, Special Events and Social, Nominating, or Public Relations. These leaders have a vital role in keeping ElderCollege directed toward the classes and outings of interest to the members. Several members also serve as classroom representatives. have grown this fund to $18500 with currently $550 available to use for ElderCollege Lifelong Learning scholarships. Thank you for your continued contributions to this fund. Tax-deductible donations of any size are always welcome. If you wish to discuss inclusion of the endowment in your estate plans, contact the foundation office at the college (419.559.2301). Let’s keep the fund and program growing for the future!

The Cunningham ElderCollege Endowment Fund is in existence to keep ElderCollege operating costs affordable. Please consider making a donation – small or large to help this fund grow to the point where it will actually be able to make a large difference in the financial picture of ElderCollege. Each year as the College budget gets tighter; it becomes more important for ElderCollege to cover all expenses. Only a portion of the interest is available to use. As this Fund grows, we will have a greater amount of money available for scholarships and special programs. With a larger endowment, we would be able to use some for operating expenses without raising course fees. We continue to have a scholarship fund to assist any member who is in need of some additional funds to cover class fees. Donations to the Cunningham ElderCollege Endowment Fund help make this scholarship fund possible. Contributions are invested and only a portion of the interest is used.
