When Vancouver Island University cut its support for Elder College programming at the end of 2023, the Mid Island Elder College (MIEC) was born: an incorporated non-profit society formed to continue the Elder College program.
Many of the instructors who have taught for the earlier incarnation of Elder College and/or were Board members before the divorce continue to teach courses for us, and now in our third semester as an independent operation we are maintaining the number and quality of courses offered.
But just as before we are interested in expanding our range of course offerings by bringing in new instructors.
Readers with area expertise and interest in teaching to a group of seniors are encouraged to peruse the MIEC website at eldercollege.org, or they may wish to reach out to the MIEC Program Committee at programchair@eldercollege.org.
