Why not learn how to make handmade chocolates or learn Italian? Perhaps you’ve been wanting to learn ways to grow personally or professionally, why not try learning how to build a website or create a documentary film. With so many great classes being offered this quarter it’s hard to just pick one! We’ve included some class suggestions below, click the title to be taken to the class page for more details and to register.

Parking is still free on Saturday.
