Student Testimonials
“It's wonderful to be able to take classes as a working professional with a family without having to drive to main campus or rely solely on online courses.”
“I would love to take ALL my classes at the Center to make my life a little easier.”
“It's really great to have resources closer to home but I think that it would be better if more classes were offered and there were more events.”
“More than once I've elected not to take a class because I did not want to drive to Norfolk due to traffic and parking, or because that one class in Norfolk was full and not offered elsewhere.”
