Valentine Cooking Class for Non-Traditional Students

Candy Hearts by Deb PetersonThis is one of the coolest activities I've seen a non-traditional student group plan--a Valentine cooking class, free for the first 50 non-traditional students who sign up at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.

The university has more than 4,000 non-trad students, according to Cynda Alexander, coordinator of UALR's Non-Traditional Student Programs. She knows that students juggling school, work, and families may not have time to plan a romantic holiday. So an afternoon of fun with Chef Sebastian was planned for 50 students and their dates.

They'll be cooking chateaubriand, potato baskets, asparagus bundles, nicoise salad, and chocolate-cherry crepes, and then they get to sit down and eat it all. That's what I call a fun date!

What is your school doing for its non-traditional students?
