Adult learners ages 25 and older who are interested in starting college for the first time, returning to school to finish a degree, exploring a new career path, seeking professional development, or improving their English are invited to attend one of Raritan Valley Community College’s Adult Learning Experience Information Sessions this summer.
Three sessions have been planned: June 17, 6-8 p.m. (virtual); July 15, 6-8 p.m.; and August 5, 6-8 p.m. The July and August in-person sessions will be held in the Atrium at the College’s Branchburg campus.
The events will include information about academic and certificate programs, applying to RVCC, learning options and support services tailored for non-traditional students, paying for college, and navigating financial aid resources.
