The Adult and Community Education Program of Martha’s Vineyard will hold a free course sampling fair on Sept. 22 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the high school cafeteria to allow prospective students to meet instructors of the 50 courses and seminars offered this fall. A representative from Northeastern University’s College of Professional Studies will also be available to meet with students about the courses for undergraduate and graduate credit offered in collaboration with ACE MV. This is a long-awaited and much needed educational opportunity for the Island community.

Classes start Oct. 5 and pre-registering is highly recommended to guarantee that they run. Registration is available online at acemv.org, at the course sampling fair, and on Sept. 23 during walk-in registration from 5:30 7 p.m. in the high school lobby. See the Web site for course descriptions and online registration, acemv.org.
