Did you know that around 500 participants enjoy Evergreen Forum courses each semester? From the arts to STEM, hundreds take part in courses in-person and online to explore a wide range of topics. Whether you’re diving deep into a specific field or simply seeking intellectual stimulation, Evergreen Forum offers something for everyone. But don’t take it from us, hear from two dedicated participants on why they continue to choose Evergreen Forum: 

Behnaz Ahmadi has been a dedicated participant in Evergreen Forum courses at the Center for Modern Aging for more than seven years. Drawn to the program’s diverse offerings, including Science in the News, Introduction to Mindfulness Practices, and Elaine Jacoby’s annual election-based class, Behnaz consistently chooses Evergreen Forum for its unique courses, dedicated participants, and experienced instructors, typically attending in-person classes. “I truly enjoy the variety of subjects, the knowledgeable classmates, and the supportive staff,” she shares. 

Velma Williams-Gates joined Evergreen Forum virtually after her museum volunteer position ended because of the pandemic. Having wanted to join an Evergreen Forum course in the past, Velma saw the switch to virtual courses as a safe opportunity to finally get involved with Evergreen Forum. She hasn’t gone back since. Velma especially appreciates the work and dedication of the course leaders saying, “The instructors with whom I have taken classes do a lot of in-depth research, usually on topics I know little or nothing about. I feel my instructors really want to pass on their knowledge of the topic(s) they teach. And the topics are about something they are passionate about.” 

We hope you’ll consider joining Behnaz, Velma, and the hundreds of other participants who take part in Evergreen Forum each semester and discover your very own lifelong learning journey this fall.
