Wofford College’s Lifelong Learning program has much to offer, even if you don’t live in Spartanburg or if you’re just planning a trip to town for Homecoming or a football Saturday.
Online clubs (monthly meetings)
- Book Club led by founder Dr. Ana María Wiseman, retired dean and professor emeritus
- Film Club led by founder Dr. Dave Whisnant, retired vice president and professor emeritus.
- Wine Club led by Lynda and Randy Hurteau, along with Dr. Ana María and Dr. Dennis Wiseman, retired provost and professor emeritus.
“Our online clubs picked up some people who lived outside of Spartanburg who wanted to keep participating,” says Lucy Woodhouse ’90, director of Lifelong Learning. “It’s going to be fun to see our clubs continue to grow with people from all over.”
There are one-day events and trips as well, including “Edgefield, Peaches, Politics and Pottery,” on Nov. 10, led by Charlie Gray ’72, the founding director of Lifelong Learning at Wofford.
“Starting in the spring of 2023, Lifelong Learning plans to offer group trips to destinations around the country,” says Woodhouse. “Plans for international trips are also underway.”
The program is now headquartered at Central United Methodist Church, an institution that shares a long history with the college.
