Meaningful Experiential Learning with SALT

Seasoned Adults Learning at Trinity (SALT) aims to provide meaningful experiential learning experiences for adults 50+. With over 120 members, this program has been making a difference in the community for 20 years.

Dewoun Hayes, Trinity’s Assistant Director of Advancement Services and the SALT Program states that the program’s mission is to “provide an enriching and stimulating learning environment through classroom content, field trips, and workshops that are catered to the personal enrichment of its members.”

SALT workshops typically have 15-20 students and are 90 minutes long. Course topics range from history, which is a popular favorite among members, to religion and even birding. Professors who teach undergraduate courses at Trinity and community partners instruct these workshops.

There are many benefits to being a SALT member. Discounted meals in the College’s dining hall, the opportunity to obtain a listener’s pass, which allows members to sit in on traditional undergraduate courses for free, and the option to receive discounted tickets to the Illinois Philharmonic and Southwest Symphony Orchestras, are just a few of those offered. It is simple to register for the program year-round and only requires a small annual membership fee of $25.

Hayes believes becoming a member of SALT is a worthwhile investment because it is a “great program for life-long learners who want to stay enlightened and inspired.”
