Active & Engaged in Retirement: Let Us Feature You!
These days, age is just a number, and no one demonstrates that more than NCRGEA members as they redefine what being retired means in 2022. To recognize that, we have started an Active & Engaged member spotlight to feature members who defy traditional ideas about life in retirement. It’s also a great opportunity for us to put a face on the members who are the heart of our organization.
Will you be part of this initiative and represent your NCRGEA district in a video and/or online? If so, please use this link – bit.ly/activeandengaged – to fill out the Google Form to share about one of the following:
- Volunteer Efforts
- Special Skills or Second Career
- Pet Companions
- Active Physical & Mental Lifestyle
The information and photographs provided by you are shared on NCRGEA’s Facebook account and other platforms. As of this newsletter printing, five members have been featured, and their photographs and names are shared here. In addition, if you see a Spotlight on social media, we ask that you comment, “like,” and share whenever possible. Let’s spread the word that NCRGEA is a people-first organization that is reimagining retirement.
If you don’t have easy access to sharing information online, please contact Dr. Deryl Fulmer at 919-980-6681 or deryl@ncrgea.com.
Active and Engaged: Some North Carolina Higher Education Institutions Offer Free Course Auditing
In 2017, the North Carolina General Assembly enacted a law to allow senior citizens in North Carolina to audit courses for free up to six credit hours per semester. You must be a legal resident of the state to qualify for the waiver, however.
Most community colleges offer this option, but there are some other universities that allow for auditing, which means no academic credit will be awarded. There is other criteria, often institution specific, that involve applications, space available in the course, etc. Please contact any institution in which you are interested to receive specific information.
Below is a list of some North Carolina colleges and universities which offer free tuition to senior citizens. Be sure to scroll down each selected page to locate the section about ages 65+.
