Peer Learning Partnership at AACC

Share your Passions: Experience the joy of learning with your peers!

The Peer Learning Partnership (PLP) is:

  • A community of peers organized to develop opportunities for intellectual development, cultural stimulation, personal growth, and social interaction in an academic setting.
  • Members manage the program and volunteer their time, skills, and talents to gain and share knowledge of subjects that may not be conveniently available in academic or social institutions.
  • Using a seminar or workshop format for learning, the PLP provides an interactive setting in which members are also facilitators. There are no academic requirements for membership and anyone 16 or older is welcome. Participants must join the Peer Learning Partnership before registering for the PLP classes.

Registration for Winter '09 classes began Oct. 20th!

Fridays with Friends - All PLP members can participate in a weekly lunchtime gathering called “Fridays with Friends” as part of their membership fee.

First Friday of the month is a current events discussion. Members exchange information, ideas and perspectives on a previously selected issue of international, national or local significance.

Second Friday is a discussion of current topics in science and technology. Members bring in information from sources that include books, magazines, newspapers, documentary films, and their own professional experience.

Third Friday is a book discussion. Book selections are made by group participants and are sometimes tied to PLP classes. Members alternate responsibility for leading the discussions.

Fourth Friday is a travel group where members share travel experiences and plan for upcoming group trips.

Fifth Friday (when the month has one) is a film viewing followed by discussion; or two films may be selected to be viewed at home and compared during the group session. Film choices may be correlated with PLP courses or tied to the Book Friday selection.
