Spring 2014 Community Education Catalog by SouthArkCommEd

# never quit learning has officially been adopted by the SouthArk Division of Continuing Education for the year of 2014. It initially serves as a common theme; an idea that each and every one of us are working to promote. However, #NeverQuitLearning is so much more than that. It is a reminder to all of us that we get one chance to be and do all that we can. What better way to spend that one chance than taking advantage of opportunities to further our own knowledge and perhaps, somewhere along the way, helping others further theirs? So we, advocates of continued education at South Arkansas Community College, challenge you to be the best you that you can be. If you want to learn a new hobby- do it. If you want to earn that GED you never had the opportunity to earn - do it. If you want to return to school for that degree youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always wanted- do it. If you want to switch career fields to feel more fulfilled - do it. Do what it is that makes you happy but, please, whatever you do
