3rd Wednesdays at Regency

FREE!

From June through October, we present a different topic each month in our annual community series, in the Garden Room at Regency (just off of the food court) from 6-7 p.m. Sessions are a great way for people to "sample" a course with the VCU Office of Continuing and Professional Education, and to learn something new!
