A panel of Westminster College professors will discuss their experiences in teaching non-traditional students Wednesday, Sept. 27, at 11:40 a.m. in the Sebastian Mueller Theater in the McKelvey Campus Center.

Westminster's Lifelong Learning Program (LLP) is an undergraduate program designed especially for non-traditional students who may take classes during the day, evening, or a combination of both. A majority of students choose an accelerated evening program that offers the ability to custom design schedules by taking nine-week courses that meet once a week. This unique work plan provides flexibility to balance an academic program with work and home responsibilities. A six-week summer session also includes both day and evening classes.

Members of the panel include: Dr. Warren Hickman, professor of mathematics; Keith Corso, instructor of speech communications; Dr. Ross Wastvedt, associate profess of English and chair of the Department of English and Public Relations; Dr. David Swerdlow, professor of English; and moderator of the panel Dr. Richard Sprow, professor of English.

Faculty Forum, established in 1990, serves as a venue for the exchange of ideas and information among Westminster College faculty. Speakers present their research, teaching ideas, lectures, performances, special programs, and uses of technology to keep faculty informed about the work of colleagues from many disciplines.

The event is free and open to the public. Contact Sprow at (724) 946-7346 or e-mail rsprow@westminster.edu for more information.
