After Norman Baker retired from his teaching career, he sought out ways to stay active and keep his brain working. In August 2021, Baker began taking Emeritus Program classes, including Brain Health, to keep his mind alert and fit. Baker appreciates the variety of courses offered by NOCE and feels the Emeritus classes are a beneficial resource and an amazing social connector for seniors in the community. 

“I have enjoyed making new friendships with my classmates, making me feel part of a community,” Baker shares. “As a retired educator, the Emeritus Program is a great way to continue my love of learning.”
