Oakton Emeritus Program Celebrates 25 Years
The Emeritus Program at Oakton Community College celebrates its 25th anniversary 10 a.m. - 4 p.m., Monday, Oct. 1, at Oakton's Ray Hartstein Campus, 7701 N. Lincoln Ave., Skokie. The Emeritus Program offers credit and noncredit learning opportunities to "the student who wasn't born yesterday."
"Emeritus students are extraordinary," says Leona Hoelting, manager of the Emeritus Program. "At their age it's often difficult for them to come out, but that doesn't stop them from wanting to learn. That's why we wanted to do something special for our 25th anniversary."
The celebration opens at 10 a.m. with Lorenzo Ghiberti's Gates of Paradise, an opportunity to learn about the Art Institute of Chicago's exhibit focusing on the restoration process of three panel doors for Florence's Baptistry by a Renaissance master. At 12:30 p.m., examine how Shakespeare's tragic love story has inspired some of the world's greatest musical compositions in the presentation, Romeo and Juliet: Ageless Story, Ageless Music.
The celebration concludes at 2:30 p.m. with a 25th Anniversary Tea, with Paris-born cabaret singer Claudia Hommel performing French standards and original songs.
