We are pleased to announce that the Maine Seacoast Mission will be honoring Acadia Senior College at its 2021 Sunbeam Award Gala next summer - see the article and press release below.

As we look back at this most unusual and "curious" year we should be proud of what the college has accomplished. With the enthusiasm and perseverance of our volunteers - instructors, board members, committee members, members and friends - we did this together and rose to the occasion. Well done everyone.

10 in-person classes (Winter 2020)
15 online classes (Spring and Fall 2020)
3 Coffee Clash discussions (Winter 2020)
6 Food for Thought lectures - 3 in-person, 3 online
1 Cabin Fever Party at the Dorr Museum of Natural History
3 online talks in collaboration with the Jesup Memorial Library
1 Schoodic Getaway in February
4 online presentations
and more

As we head into a new month, more holidays, and a new year please take care and be well. I look forward to seeing you soon!
