Want to see more photos? Share your photos from ASC classes and events. Acadia Senior College is always looking for images for the newsletter, email correspondence, and course brochures. We need a variety of photos including seasonal MDI photos, images of ASC events, class settings and outings, or other images of interest to our members. Photo credits will be given! 

Do you have a Senior College Story to share?

What does ASC mean to you? Did a class you took lead you to a new interest, new skill, new friendships or relationships? Did it open your mind to a new idea or way of thinking? Has it expanded your view of our society, our island, or the world we live in? Did it change the way you see yourself or others? Please write a brief (one page) narrative telling your Senior College Story. We would like to share these in our newsletters and on the website!
