The Fleer Center for Adult Education at Salem College invites you to participate in a variety of non-credit courses
through the Courses for Community program.
This fall, there are more than 60 exciting opportunities to increase your knowledge and activity level, improve your
lifestyle and provide personal enjoyment – all on the beautiful Salem College campus. We offer something for everyone.
For example:
• We are excited to offer a new series in the program, Money Matters.
• The expansion of the Professional and Prep Series provides numerous opportunities for
professionals seeking continuing education/renewal credits.
• We continue to offer our popular Wine Series along with the Live Well Series and
our growing Writing Series.
The registration fees are competitive, yet affordable, and class sizes are limited in order to enhance the learning
environment and encourage interaction among participants. For those seeking professional acknowledgement,
certificates of completion are available upon request. Numerous courses qualify for educator renewal credits. Required
documentation is provided.
Courses are individually priced with group/friend discounts available in the Live Well Series and the Health and Fitness
Series. We encourage you to review these series to see what will spark your interest. What better way to enjoy the fall
season than to learn something new!
Give the gift of knowledge with a customized gift certificate for any occasion. The popular SAT preparation classes
make great gifts from parents or grandparents. Our Wine Series classes make excellent gifts, as well. They are
educational, fun and provide an outlet for people to gather and learn about the many facets of wine.
For general information about the Courses for Community program, visit our website at www.salem.edu/cfc or call

Many thanks to Old Salem Museums & Gardens for their generosity in providing facilities.
