www.sinclair.edu/lifelong Welcome!

In fact, studies have proven that it’s possible for older adults to remember things we’ve learned for a longer period of time than when a younger person crams for an exam. That’s because our extensive life experience serves as a hook by which to associate and remember what we’ve learned. So, let’s capitalize on that advantage! Sinclair’s College for Lifelong Learning has several ways you can do just that: Seminars & Workshops New Directions Health & Well Being Computers & Technology Arts & Entertainment History & Culture Learn as if you were to live forever.—Mahatma Gandhi 4 4 7 9 11 13 Community Partners 2014 SEEK Conference Senior Site Audit Schedule Seminars & Workshops Location Legend Prior Learning Assessment Sinclair Audit Classes Clark Beck Award Sinclair Theatre & Concerts Campus Map Registration Form 16 19 20 23 24 25 27 29 31 32 On the cover: Sinclair’s Bell Tower with colorful spring foliage; painting classes, studying, and getting together with an instructor. • If you’re age 60 or better, you may audit classes tuition-free on a space-available basis, with registration taking place during the week before classes begin for the semester. Classes are available at the Dayton Campus or at your nearby Regional Center in Englewood, Huber Heights, Preble County, or Warren County. Auditing is a great way to explore a subject you’ve always been interested in but never had the opportunity to study. It’s also a great way to try a class to see if that’s the right new career path for you—to brush up on a subject before taking a class for credit, perhaps leading to a better grade—or a comfortable first step in coming back to college. •Adults of any age may enroll in the seminars and workshops offered in a variety of areas, New Directions, Health & Well- Being, Computers & Technology, Arts & Entertainment, and History & Culture. You may be interested in Good Jobs for Bad Times, Financial Workshop, Small Moments of Joy, Beginning PC Skills, Lunch Bunch, Neil Armstong, Causes of World War I, Whatzit Wonders, and much more. •Of course, you may take classes for credit. You won’t be alone, because there are close to 200 other students age 60 and better who are pursuing a certificate or degree. Join the 2,000+ lifelong learners who are participating in Sinclair’s program. Give us your feedback on what you like and what you’d like to see improved. And, know that you are an important element of Sinclair’s student body!

With Sinclair having many students who are coming to the college to pursue a new career or update skills after being in the workforce, here is some important information for you to be aware of. What is Prior Learning? Prior learning is the knowledge and skills gained through work and life experience, like career education and military training. What is Prior Learning Assessment? Prior learning assessment is the process used to evaluate previous life experience for academic credit. Prior learning is assessed using standardized proficiency tests, course challenge examinations and portfolio assessment. You can get course credit for prior learning in two different ways: 1) Credit by showing proficiency through an exam or 2) credit for what you already know through alternate forms of assessment. Credit by Exam Options • College Level Examination Program (CLEP). The College Board offers nationally standardized CLEP exams that may allow learners to earn college credit for knowledge acquired through on-the-job training, professional development, and other activities. CLEP exams are not given at Sinclair, but they are given at test sites in Dayton and across the nation. The current cost is $77 per test, but there may be an additional test site fee. When you take a CLEP exam, request that your scores be sent to Sinclair using school code 1720. For results of CLEP exams taken in the past, contact the College Board for an official transcript. • DANTES Subject Specific Test (DSST). DANTES Standardized Subject Tests are nationally standardized exams that may be equivalent to certain Sinclair courses. DSST exams are not given at Sinclair, but they are given at test sites in Dayton and across the nation. The current cost is $82 per test. When you take a DSST exam, request that your scores be sent to Sinclair using school code 9309. If you have already taken a DSST exam and not had your scores sent to Sinclair, contact Prometric for an official transcript. • Sinclair Proficiency Tests. A learner who demonstrates knowledge and ability in a particular subject area may earn credit for specific Sinclair courses without enrolling in them. This is done by taking a proficiency test or by demonstrating a level of skill evaluated by the appropriate academic department. Testing fees range from $65 to $110 and above. Visit the Sinclair Proficiency Tests by Course page for a list of courses available for proficiency tests. The procedure that a student will use to take a proficiency test will depend on where they live in relation to Sinclair’s downtown Dayton campus. www.sinclair.edu/lifelong continued on next page 24 Credit for What You Know Options • Portfolio-based Assessment. Many students bring to Sinclair a wealth of learning and knowledge they’ve gained from work, outside interests, and life itself. A portfolio is a written description of a student’s individual learning experiences. To prepare a portfolio, a student must enroll in PRL 1100, Prior Learning Portfolio Development (2 credit hours). Student work with a faculty member to create individual portfolios. • Articulated Credit Request. Documentation of professional training, including copies of licenses, certifications, or other credentials requiring passing an Check Web or Call exam should be submitted to Prior Learning Assessment in the Academic Advising Center (Building 11, Room 346). The appropriate departmental chairperson will determine on a case-by-case basis if any course credit can be awarded based on this documentation. This course credit will be added to your official Sinclair record. NOTE: These courses are not always transferable to other colleges, but they count toward fulfilling Sinclair graduation requirements.

Clark joins more than 140 outstanding individuals and groups honored for their contributions to the Miami Valley.

First involved in testing military equipment at sub-zero temperatures, he moved to making structural tests at 2,500 degrees F. for the DynaSoar project, which became the Space Shuttle program. He designed dynamic loading and heating systems to simulate re-entry from space and conducted temperature tests on humans to determine maximum cockpit temperatures that could be tolerated. During his 31-year career at WPAFB, Clark taught evening classes at Central State and Sinclair. He was actively involved with the development of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics education and the Wright STEPP. In addition, he has served on a host of community and national boards and was the founding president of the Kidney Foundation of Dayton.
