Welcome We are kicking off our summer catalog with our featured instructor:

LORETTA BENEDICT

Loretta is known for her drive to challenge and inspire her clients to living healthier lifestyles. She had the honor of leading a wide variety of unique individuals through movement-based classes, creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for all people to come as they are and to lovingly embrace their personal health and fitness journeys. Loretta has been nationally certified with ACE (American Council on Exercise) since 1991, specializing in active aging, and healthy lifestyle changes through core and functional fitness, advanced Pilates, deep stretching for flexibility, cardio circuit training, water fitness bootcamps, and Strong Nation by Zumba.

She asked us to make sure you knew one thing - your wellness is a journey and she looks forward to getting you started on a path to lifelong wellness. Health is not all about the diet. Diets are temporary. Diets are frustrating. And 95% of diets fail. That’s why as a group fitness instructor, as well as, a certified personal trainer, she advocates lifestyle changes that will benefit your health and wellbeing for the rest of your life. Change can be scary and difficult, but it can also be the adventure of a lifetime.

Living a healthy lifestyle reduces your risk of heart disease, cancer, diabetes and stroke, as well as, increases quality time with your loved ones and improves your quality of life. What better investment can you make? Your health affects you and everyone you know.

Loretta lives by the quote: “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.” ~ Maya Angelou

Thank you Loretta – we appreciate your involvement and contributions to Continuing Education at BSC! Find Loretta’s classes on page 4!

We have your best interest in mind. Classes scheduled on campus this summer will be designed with social

distancing and cleanliness in mind, including smaller class sizes. Should classes need to be canceled for any reason, registration fees will be refunded to participants. In addition, we are looking forward to developing more classes that you can take or attend from the comfort of your own home. We appreciate any suggestions on what classes you'd like to see in that format.

Just email us at bsc.training@bismarckstate.edu or message us on Facebook (facebook.com/bscceti).

Jimmy Carter: A Life of Ambition and Purpose

To a country still reeling from the twin blows of Vietnam and Watergate, Jimmy Carter was seen as a breath of fresh air in 1976. Carter’s meteoric rise to the presidency is one of the greatest triumphs in American political history. His overwhelming defeat four years later is, arguably, the worst humiliation ever suffered by any president. While Carter ultimately failed politically amid inflation, gas lines, and the Iranian hostage crisis, he did succeed in tackling some of the nation’s most intractable challenges. This course will use lecture, video, and class discussion to reassess this misunderstood president and highly complex man.

During the summer our plan is to travel to Voyageurs National Park in northern Minnesota and Isle Royale National Park in Michigan but accessible from Grand Portage, located in northeastern Minnesota. Both are accessible only by boat which should provide pictures of historical sites along with nature and wildlife.
