Fifty Over 50

SMC Emeritus Fifty over 50 - 50th Anniversary

As an Age-Friendly University, Santa Monica College has proudly educated adult learners and older adult learners in every instructional program. One of the largest is our Emeritus lifelong learning program. In commemoration of the 50th anniversary of SMC’s Emeritus program, our Golden Anniversary of the 1974-75 academic year launch of our tremendous and free older adult lifelong learning program, we are launching the first of its kind Fifty Over 50 campaign!

Imagine a Forty under 40 list, but flipping it on its head. This is an exciting way to recognize and honor individuals over the age of 50 who have made significant contributions in various fields professionally, and in the community, celebrating experience, impact, leadership and contributions. We want to celebrate people who are awesome, and who may not have been lauded or recognized with awards before in their lifetime.
