'Summer Selects'
The Acadia Senior College 2010 ‘Summer Selects’ are supported by a generous grant from Kathryn W. Davis, as well as by a host of other donors. These summer events are a significant extension of our regular three-term program of classes. Our goal is to reach beyond our membership to provide a wide range of stimulating intellectual experiences for seasonal visitors to Mount Desert Island.
All Summer Select Programs are free and open to the public, with no fees and no reservations. (See the listings below, and follow the links for details.)
