The diversity in offerings is pretty amazing. This year we did everything from cranes to coffee. Because of a session on Polar Bears of Churchill several years ago, we ended up going to Canada to see the bears a year later. The classes are most stimulating.

Sign up was so easy, every class was great. Appreciated being reminded of classes and offered the opportunity to take a class that wasn’t full!

I was on vacation during part of this session. Never again! This is the highlight of winter in Grand Junction. Thank you to everyone who helps. First class all the way!

I so appreciate all the hard-working volunteers who work to bring this program about, as well as the instructors who present such fascinating topics. As a new instructor to New Dimensions, I feel supported and encouraged to do my best.

Every session is better than the one before it. Kudos to the dedicated people who make it happen. The computer program is better than ever, easy to use. Wait list notification is a great feature.

The New Dimensions team does an outstanding job developing and coordinating the courses, ensuring the website and registration work well and handling all the prep and administration for a lot of classes each term. New Dimensions is a true community asset. Excellent job to a fantastic group of volunteers.

By far, this was the BEST Term yet. The classes, the instructors, the coordination – were all great. An exciting line-up of class offerings. Only small – very small – downside was that there were so many overlapping classes that I could not get into all that I wanted to take.

This was my first New Dimensions social, and I bumped into a couple of people I knew a while back when I was working and we were all on the same committee. Plus, talking to other New Dimensions attendees was great so we could compare notes and get ideas for future classes to sign up for.

I loved the icebreaker game [at the social]. It made it so much easier to approach people and was a great way to learn something interesting about others that might not come up in normal conversation. I think you should do that every time.
