Welcome to Encore 55+ Learning at Cuyahoga Community College (Tri-C®).
For more than 40 years, Tri-C has been a premier provider of education to individuals 55 and older. The program continues to thrive due to our community’s desire for high-quality and affordable lifelong learning opportunities.
Last fall, more than 700 individuals participated in the Encore Campus Fridays program at our Eastern and Western campuses, and Neighborhood Scholars programming saw its highest enrollment to date.
We are fortunate to have a dedicated staff working behind the scenes to make your experience a positive one. Site facilitators are also available to answer your questions while on campus.
Our dedication to lifelong learning continues to expand as we bring Encore Campus Fridays to the Westshore Campus in Westlake this fall.
For more information, please visit tri-c.edu/encore or call 216-987-2274 to speak with an Encore team member.
We look forward to seeing you soon.

Working with a range of diverse media, including photography, painting, sculpture and installation, Liu Wei is known for crystallizing the visual and intellectual chaos of China’s myriad transformations. He frequently uses geometric and architectural forms in his work as a reference to his urban surroundings.

A second and complementary exhibition drawn from the museum’s collection will be "Master/Apprentice: Imitation and Inspiration in the Renaissance."
