SALISBURY— From aromatherapy to yoga, Rowan-Cabarrus Community College is offering a wide range of short-term courses this spring.

Through the personal enrichment program, the college offers courses for self-improvement, cultural enrichment and academic achievement.

“The courses are for everyone in the community, meaning you don’t have to be a currently enrolled student at Rowan-Cabarrus Community College to participate,” said Tricia Staggers, lead program manager of training services at the college.

The purpose of the program is to give individuals a chance to pursue special interests and to fill their leisure time with worthwhile educational projects.

“For getting fit – mind and body – we have yoga. For new and re-entry motorcycle riders we offer a course in basic safety. Need a knowledge boost when it comes to your android phone? – we’ve got you covered. Yearning to learn a new language? We can help,” said Staggers. “We really strive to offer a variety of courses across multiple campuses for a greater community reach.”
