Older students find
support with peers
Returning to school to finish
or start a degree can be a
frightening experience for
someone unacquainted with
modern college life.
Assisting "non-traditional”
students — those who have
been away from college for a
number of years — in their reor
ientation to college life is an
essential part of Lifelong
Learners Services, says Jane
DeGidio, program coordinator.
Lifelong learning helps the
non-traditional students identify
their academic and personal
resources as well as providing
them with pre-admission advis
ing through its office in Room
164 Oregon Hall.
The service also informs po
tential students of various
academic options available to
ease the transition from a work
ing environment to a student
environment.
“We see both men and
women who are making mid-life
career changes,” DeGidio says.
“We talk to people about getting
started back to school and help
match them up with an
academic program "
The Lifelong Learning Ser
vice is geared toward helping
people get started back to
school, not toward couseling for
degrees or academic programs.
“Its more enrollment coun
seling,’’ she says.
One out of every eight people
are making the decision to re
turn to school and attempt a
career change, DeGidio says.
More than 15 percent of the
undergraduates enrolled at the
University are more than 25
years old.
In conjunction with the
lifelong learning center, Women
In Transistion, an ASUO-spon
sored organization, assists
women in getting their educa
tion and starting careers. The
group also provides peer sup
port and is run by the women it
serves.
Women in Transition
members are diverse, with
members ranging in age from 25
to 60. The group also sponsors
seminars, workshops and social
activities. Although helping the
lifelong learner is the main pur
pose of the group’s activities,
anyone interested is invited to
attend.
The organization’s office is in
Suite 1, EMU.
There is a new lifelong
learners lounge in the Wesley
Center basement, 1236 Kincaid
St.
The YWCA, 841 E. 18th Ave.,
also has a lifelong learners
lounge that is open to anyone
who is interested
