Esteemed Beaver County Residents,
Lifelong learning has been a personal passion of mine ever since I received my undergraduate degree. The more formal education I pursued, the more my curiosity expanded into subjects far beyond my original studies. One such area was sewing. I have a collection of over 130 bowties, and I wanted to learn how to make my own—along with mastering skills like cuffing dress pants. After just a few months of self-instruction, I proudly learned how to make my first bowtie.
Three years ago, knowing I had room to grow, I enrolled in an "Introduction to Sewing" non-credit course at CCBC. That course opened a new world for me. I became better at reading patterns, operating my sewing machine, and understanding the techniques that took me from a beginner to an advanced beginner. Yet, even with progress, I faced challenges. I made shorts but struggled with the drawstring waist. I sewed a shirt, but one arm ended up longer than the other. I made a bag, but the zipper wasn’t quite straight. Then, I decided to try quilting, and everything clicked. I discovered my mojo, my calling, my gift. This year, I was thrilled to receive 2nd place at the 29th Annual Beaver Valley Piecemakers Quilt Show in the Art Category —an achievement I reached after just two years of quilting. Lifelong learning continues to pay off in ways I never imagined.
As we step into a new year, I encourage each of you to embrace lifelong learning. Whether you’ve always wanted to try something new or you’re seeking ways to sharpen your existing skills, now is the perfect time to explore the many courses our college offers. Lifelong learning enriches your life, expands your horizons, and keeps your mind sharp and curious. It allows you to pursue your passions and discover new ones—just as I did with quilting.
Learning doesn’t have to end once formal schooling does. In fact, some of the most meaningful learning happens when we pursue knowledge that excites and inspires us. At CCBC, our non-credit programs provide opportunities to discover new hobbies, advance your career, or simply enjoy learning for the sake of learning. Every course you take is an investment in yourself and your future.
If you have ideas for new or innovative courses, I’d love to hear from you! Send an email to me at president@ccbc.edu.
Let 2025 be the year you set new goals, challenge yourself, and ignite your potential. Lifelong learning can be the pathway that launches you to new heights, opening doors to growth, achievement, and personal fulfillment.
Keep learning,
Roger W. Davis President
