The Continuing-Education Depart- ment is designed for people who want to learn a small craft, hobby or pastime. Some of these classes are Needlepoint, Foreign Languages, Typing, China Painting, and Parent- Child Relations. There are presently six staff members employed for this purpose. According to Anna Rankin, one of the staff members in this depart- ment, 'People call our offices and request a certain class that they would like. A class is started when at least 12 to 15 people request it. The only tuition is 55, unless there are materials involved. ln this case, it would be a little extra. lf the stu- dent is aged 65 or older, he or she can take the class free of charge. These courses have meant so much to our senior citizens, because they can spend some time with a Handicraft or pastime. Dan Camp, Dean of Continuing Education, adds, Everything's flex- ible. Our classes run anywhere from 30 to 60 hours long, depending upon the class. Our classes try to meet the needs of a specific group of people. Not all classes in this field meet at the Tech building. Some have met at schools, churches, community centers, and in private homes. Since July 1, 1979, 1226 people have enrolled in some sort of Con- tinuing Education class. fi i 1 TI I .. ... . ... ..:-...U . F' l l i olillgbitg llleeclt l l l L v l l P' T l In the summer of 1979, Cleveland ' Tech experimented with a program aimed at a growing category that's becoming a part of the national scene-Displaced Homemakers. The chapter here at Tech is only one of four in North Carolina, with others in Oxford, Roxboro, and Greenville. A displaced homemaker is someone who has lost a spouse and must become self-supporting. This program is directed by Patricia Evans, who says the participants work in various workshops such as nutrition, physical fitness, time management, and creative problem solving. Dot Roark, head audio-visual co- ordinator, has provided program- I ming experiences for the members 3 of this organization. There are four mem- bers who serve for four counties: Eleanor l Buse, job developer, Rita Conte, recruiterfcounselorg Cynthia Gardner, secretaryfbookkeeperg and Patricia Evans, program director. ..,,, ,- -N --...- ...--.,.. - -9--. - . .pu
