Senior Symposia

The Senior Symposia program at Greenfield Community College is a collaborative effort with area senior citizens. The program encourages seniors to continue their education through attending talks on a variety of subjects. Persons of all ages are welcome to attend Senior Sym events and participate in the lively discussions that follow the presentations.

Fall 2024 Symposia will be held on the GCC campus and the Garden Cinemas (361 Main Street).  Presentations run from 2-2.5 hours, with most of the symposia running from 2-4pm.

We can not accept cash or check payment on-site at Senior Symposia events.
