EXPLORING EAST ST. LOUIS All offerings are free for participants
I Don’t Do School Some people debate if college is for them. Students on social media forums everywhere have described their constant worries concerning college, including student loans, test anxiety, and juggling family and working. Have we looked at college wrong all these years? Join Antoinette Ayers for the conversation about why “I Don’t Do School” and as a result, I create life. Check website for date and time.
Thursday Talks and Treks Join us as we get our heart rates up by walking the East St. Louis Higher Education Campus. During our walking time, we will hear from some of our historical society members and others as they reminisce about the history of East St. Louis and the landmarks around campus. After our walking tour is complete, join us in the cafeteria for a more in-depth discussion. Three sessions available: Thursdays, 10 a.m.-1 p.m. • September 15 • October 13 • November 10
