So will would-be photographers, those wanting to learn how to handle holiday stress, and people who'd like to explore Allerton Park, near Monticello. Those are among some of the topics of personal and professional enrichment programs based in the UI Office of Continuing Education.
Some courses begin as soon as next week.
Successful Magazine Writing, which will be taught by a widely published freelance writer and will deal with all aspects of writing and getting published. Canoeing for Beginners, which will provide an opportunity to learn techniques in flat-water canoeing, as well as canoe safety. The personal and professional enrichment programs are presented in a noncompetitive, informal atmosphere. There are no exams or grades. Instructors are selected primarily from the university faculty, and classes meet at locations on campus or in the Central Illinois community.
