Supported by ETSU’s Office of Professional Development in the Clemmer College of
Education and Human Development, the Alliance for Continued Learning is a “memberpowered, member-driven, member-governed” organization devoted to providing lifelong
learning experiences in a friendly and stimulating atmosphere.
Desire for learning drives the programming for ACL, and there are no restrictions to
membership; no degree or diploma is required to participate, there are no exams or
grades, and no age limits apply. Our membership springs from a wide variety of
backgrounds and experiences, and this diversity is reflected in the range of study
groups, forums, classes and activities that members choose to offer.
Membership cost for the Spring 2026 session is $45.00 per person until March 10. After
March 10, membership will be $60.00. Membership cost covers all spring session
classes offered by the Alliance for Continued Learning. Some field trips during the
session may require additional fees. Call the Office of Professional Development at
(423) 439-8084 for more information.
Unless otherwise notified, all classes will meet 10:00 a.m. to noon, at the Conference
Room in Food City, 920 North State of Franklin Road. Turn right as you go into the
store. You will find stairs or an elevator to the second floor. Please wear a sweater or
jacket to the meetings. If ETSU is closed due to inclement weather, ACL will not meet.
One free meeting is offered to anyone who has never attended ACL in the past.
Registration is still required
