Here we are. 2021..
In this new year, it’s time to recalibrate our talents, our minds and our skill sets. You’ll find courses from digital photography, to jewelry making, to fly fishing, to a cooking series and much more in this spring catalog.
Many of these courses are online. However, we plan to offer some courses that require a more hands-on approach in person. We’re taking COVID-19 (coronavirus) precautions, and we ask
that you do too. (See the back cover of this catalog for information on WSU coronavirus precautions.)
Keep an eye out for new courses (listed in the section below) or courses that are offered in the daytime listed on the back cover. Find something that fits your interests and your schedule. We also hope you find a new passion. Rediscover the joy of learning!
