in Hendersonville

Hendersonville area residents have the opportunity to explore topics ranging from fitness workshops to retirement planning when UNC Asheville’s fall Continuing and Professional Education Programs begins at the Kellogg Center in September. Enrollment is now open and courses are open to the public.

In addition to the full flight of 31 classes at UNCA, ten courses in personal and professional development will be offered at UNCA’s Kellogg Center, 11 Broyles Rd., Hendersonville. Among the highlights are "Effective Teacher Training," a required course for teachers in Buncombe County Schools, and an intensive two-week test prep class for the SAT, a standardarized test required for admission to most colleges and universities.

Other enrichment classes include "Herbal Wisdom for Women" and Alan Muskat’s popular class, "Stalking the Wild Mushroom." Get moving with courses on the Feldenkrais Method, "The Mind/Body Connection" or "Get Fit Workshop." Those of pre-retirement age may enroll in "Successful Retirement Planning" while those in post-retirement may enroll in "Life is About the Journey," a course designed to help retirees reassess their interests and options for the future. Students interested in expressing their creativity in new ways can check out "Telling Your Story Through Collage."
