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.

Unless otherwise indicated, all events are held at the John W. Olver Transit Center in the first floor Allen Meeting Room from 2-4 p.m.

Thanks to a generous donation, attendees have the option of reduced tuition! When viewing an individual workshop, choose your tuition type prior to registration.
