BRAVO to MSC’s Events and Curriculum Committees!

Today we celebrated another successful Faculty Luncheon, one of our favorite traditions at Midcoast Senior College. We had the chance to hear from our instructors as each shared a brief preview of the fascinating classes they’ll be teaching this fall. There’s a lot to look forward to!

We were also feeling the community love today, with delicious sandwiches, pickles, and chips generously provided by Big Top Deli in Brunswick. 🥪❤️ A big helping of gratitude to Tony and his team for their thoughtful support of MSC and our lifelong learning community!

And now the countdown is on… classes begin next week! 📚🎉

So as we head into the fall semester, let’s raise our mugs and give thanks to Wicked Joe for supporting MSC and our community of curious, engaged lifelong learners.

Thank you, Wicked Joe! ❤️☕️
