The past several months have been full of exciting milestones and meaningful collaborations across the School of Professional & Continuing Education (SPCE). From celebrating the accomplishments of our Adult Degree Program students to expanding our global learning opportunities, the SPCE community continues to create transformative experiences for learners of all ages. 

This fall edition of Connections highlights just a few of the many ways our programs have made an impact this spring and summer: 

• Adult Degree Program graduates celebrated their achievements at May Commencement and participated in enriching study abroad experiences. 

• Professional Development initiatives continued to grow through new projects and partnerships that strengthen our reach and impact across the Commonwealth and beyond.  

• Youth Programs and the Lifelong Learning Institute wrapped up vibrant summer seasons filled with meaningful experiences and community engagement. 

• We’re thrilled to welcome several new members to SPCE who bring fresh energy and talent to our team. 

Thank you for your continued support of SPCE. Together, we’re expanding opportunities for learners and communities across all stages of life. 

Go Dukes!
