September, 2015

 

No matter how much time passes, September always brings that "beginning again" feeling. Seems I can september visual always recall the smell of new crayons, the sight of new notebooks and lunch boxes, and the feeling of new school shoes, etc. It's September and  I'm transported back to those new incentives, aspirations and goals of the new school year. 

 

It's the same here at VSU Continuing Ed this September. Fresh, contemporary opportunities for travel, face-to-face courses and online learning abound. Don't wait to start your adventure!
