Continuing Education
Certificate in Holocaust Pedagogy
The Stan Greenspon Center’s Holocaust Pedagogy Certification program (CHP) provides intensive training on methods and strategies for teaching about the Holocaust across subjects and grades in 6-12 settings. Through the skills of historical examination and interpretation, this program prompts participants to ask questions and think critically about why the Holocaust happened, what it means for learners today, and how we can engage others in our schools and communities to do the same.
Certified Financial Planner
Whether you’ve already been working in finance or you’ve decided to make a career change, becoming a Certified Financial Planner is a must for making the most out of your financial planning career. By becoming certified, you will gain instant credibility with clients, enhanced career and professional opportunities, and increased earning potential.

The group has more than 700 members, many of whom attend weekly lectures held at Providence United Methodist Church during the school year. For just $35 annually, Senior Scholars have access to lectures on topics such as art, history, science, and health. Members may also participate in outings (at a nominal cost) to area museums and other cultural and educational resources, with additional opportunities to socialize with peers.
