For the citizens of the Four Corners, the Professional Associates' best-known program is definitely our Life-Long Learning (LLL) lecture series. When school is in session, Thursday evenings are Life-Long Learning evenings at FLC.
Co-sponsored by the President's Office, this series offers free presentations on a wide range of subjects and is designed to enrich the intellectual life of the college and community alike.
Go to the Life-Long Learning page for a list of current programs. For additional information on the LLL series, please contact Professional Associate Gary Rottman at gsorcer@hotmail.com.
Professional Associates works with the School of Business to provide business related programs for the community.
PA members serve as advisors for the Small Business Development Center.In this activity PAs review business plans, strategic plans, business models, etc. of new startup companies or existing companies that are seeking help from the SBDC. PAs offer advice on improving these areas. The SBDC receives a monetary credit from the US government for the volunteer time PAs invest in these critiques.
PA works with local high schools to promote FLC as a choice for those going on to college, and to increase ways of introducing local high school students to FLC through participation in college classes and activities.
Members of PA provide leadership for the operation and funding of this FLC related program. Click here for more information about the Mountain Studies Institute.
