• What if you can’t arrange your schedule to take Penobscot Valley Senior College (PVSC) courses and One-Day Events, or if the current offerings are not your “cup of tea”?
  
  • No worries! PVSC is part of the Maine Senior College Network (MSCN), of which there are 17 senior colleges affiliated with University of Southern Maine (USM).
  • As long as your PVSC membership (or other senior college membership) is current, you can register for any of the other colleges’ free offerings, or just pay their course registration fees, without having to repay other memberships! This works now, especially, since virtual learning courses have made it possible to “travel” to these other courses from the comfort of your home.
  • The link to the MSCN website is listed below. Just open the site, and click on "Find a Senior College." All are listed, with current offerings. You’re sure to find a course or lecture that appeals to you, and also means that each college can retain their independence, but not have to duplicate every subject offering. https://www.maineseniorcollege.org/
