Welcome to The Evergreen Forum, now beginning its second decade. Our program has grown dramatically over the past 10 years, from 40 participants the first semester to over 400 recently. We are an entirely volunteer organization sponsored by the Princeton Senior Resource Center. The Forum provides stimulating daytime study and discussion programs for adults and encourages active participation for those who enjoy learning for its own sake. Our course leaders are drawn from teachers and other professionals, devoted to their subject and wishing to share their enthusiasm.
To assure that everyone will have an equal chance of registering for the courses of their choice, a lottery is held every term to select members for courses in which there are more applications than the maximum set by the instructor.
Registration is not on a first-come first-served basis. A waiting list will be kept and, if openings occur, those on the waiting list will be invited to join the course. Everyone is notified of his or her enrollment status after the lottery by email (or letter if no email).
The Spring 2012 semester time line is as follows:
Full course descriptions will be posted on December 13; brochures will be mailed toward the end of December. These will include information on reading texts, material costs and maps.
The registration form will be posted on January 4. There will be both mail-in and online registration options this semester. Each individual must complete a separate registration.
The lottery for over-subscribed courses will be on February 1. Calls, emails and letters (to those without email) will go out within 1-2 days.
Classes will begin on March 2. Registration for open courses continues until the first class.
Last day for drop/add with refund less $10 processing charge: March 9 (or one week after first class).

We are very excited to celebrate the 11th anniversary year of The Evergreen Forum. We are delighted to have been able to form a community of people who are interested in lifelong learning and look forward to seeing many of you this semester.
