OVERVIEW
Continuing Education & Community Events (CECE) enriches the lives of individuals through distinctive service and exceptional programs.

NON-CREDIT PERSONAL
ENRICHMENT CLASSES
A variety of affordable, short-format courses designed to help individuals experience other cultures, hone technical skills, and enjoy new pastimes. CECE provides comfortable classrooms, schedule-friendly dates and times, and online options for noncredit learning. These educational opportunities are available through LCSC in Lewiston and its outreach offices located in Grangeville, Kamiah/Kooskia, and Orofino.

KIDS’ COLLEGE
Kids’ College provides a roster of fun and exciting summer programming. It offers exploration of art, culture, music, science, computers, language, and recreation to kids completing grades 2 through 6. Scholarships are available.

THE SPEAKERS BUREAU AT LCSC
Noted speakers, at an affordable cost, present accurate information on a variety of regional topics to non-profit organizations and educational institutions throughout the state of Idaho. The program is funded, in part, by the Idaho Humanities Council and the Idaho Community Foundation.

ELDERHOSTEL
As part of a network of nearly 2,000 independent educational and cultural institutions, CECE provides extraordinary experiences that combine a love of learning with engaging environments for people 55 & older. Participants from across the nation learn more about cultural topics of interest in our region through guided activities and presentations from noted speakers.

SILVERTHORNE SERIES
Annually provides the students of LCSC and members of our community with exposure to cultural and educational experiences through presentation of performing arts. Artists presented as part the Silverthorne Series also provide an educational outreach performance to Lewiston elementary students. This program is funded, in part, by LCSC Student Fees and a grant from L.I.F.E.

DOGWOOD FESTIVAL OF THE LEWIS-CLARK VALLEY
CECE’s support of this annual, month-long community festival includes oversight of the Dogwood Festival Planning committee, marketing and promotion, funding efforts, and administration of official Dogwood Festival activities such as Friends of the Festival, Dogwood Show & Shine, Dogwood Festival Concert, and Dogwood T-shirt sales.
ART UNDER THE ELMS
The outdoor, cornerstone event of the Dogwood Festival offers three full days of fine arts, family fun, gourmet food, and live musical entertainment on the LCSC Campus. Art Under the Elms presents a juried roster of artists and vendors from across the nation to over 12,000 visitors annually.
