CoOL is an NECC-based seminar series designed for individuals over the age of 50 who have a love of learning and a desire to challenge their intellects. At the showcase, attendees will learn more about the seminars and meet the instructors.

Ranging from science to film, the seminar topics for the spring include “Yoga/Meditation,” “Gems: Nature’s Mysterious Gifts,” “The Middle East – A Primer,” “Beginning Tai-Chi Chuan,” “Haverhill: Past, Present and Future,” and more. Please view the full list of available courses through the CoOL seminar website.
