Bellevue Rotarian, Chuck Kimbrough was out guest speaker today. Chuck spoke to the club today about the TELOS program at Bellevue College.

TELOS, the Greek word meaning ‘fulfillment’ is what the TELOS program offers: an engaging community where adults can fulfill their continuing desire to learn and grow. This educational program is aimed at retired people who wish to participate in opportunities and challenges for continued learning, personal growth and new friendships. The emphasis of TELOS is on learning, growth and fun.

Classes meet once a week during the day and are non-credit and non-graded. TELOS classes are taught by men and women who have expertise in their subject matter and excellent teaching skills. Many are active or retired faculty from colleges and universities. Others are professionals with accomplishments in many fields. All share a keen interest in contributing to the mental, physical and spiritual fulfillment of older adults.

With as many as 50 courses offered each quarter and over 1,000 students participating in TELOS, this program is bound to offer a course and community that is right for you!
