Community Ed Open House January 21

Following up on the success of 2016’s Open House, SMC Community Education is pleased to announce its Third Annual Open House on Jan. 21, which will feature class discounts, mini presentations, demonstrations and more.

The Open House, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., will give attendees a chance to meet instructors and staff and learn about the rich variety of offerings in the Spring Semester. It will be held at the SMC Bundy Campus, Room 123, 3171 S. Bundy Dr., Los Angeles. Ample free parking is available.

More than 20 instructors will be on hand to talk about their classes, including art, Italian, French, writing, ballet, photography, health and fitness, stand-up comedy, sports, self-development and more. There will be an opportunity to enjoy instructor mini presentations and demonstrations and to receive 15 percent discounts for those who register for classes at the Open House. Free SMC Community Ed totes will also be given out while supplies last, and refreshments will be served.

“ Last year we were so pleased that we drew 120 visitors to our Open House, and many took advantage of the discounts to sign up for one or more classes each,” said Alice Meyering, Program Coordinator of Community & Contract Education. “We know that the Open House really allows our public to get to know our instructors and staff, and that it promotes mutual understanding and support as well as opening up channels of communication.”

Attendees can drop by any time between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.

Community Ed has slated more than 170 classes, workshops and tours, including several new offerings, for the Spring Semester, which begins Feb. 13.

Registration is open and can be completed online at http://commed.smc.edu or by calling (310) 434-3400 or emailing commed@smc.edu.
