Association for Continuing Education

About This Association

The Association for Continuing Education, welcoming men as members, was formed in 1954. Beginning in 1947 Grazella Shepherd began planning courses to be conducted by non-professionals in the living room of members. Grazella acted as a discussion leader in the early years, “emphasizing her mantra of accurate reading, creative listening, and responsible speech, as opposed to the more passive receptivity of the lecture hall”. An education committee was formed to guide these activities. With an influx of new members in 1955, the very successful Living Room Learning program became Off-Campus Studies.
