KACL Fall 2024 Registration and Membership Information
If you wish to participate via Zoom this term, please call (423) 354-5200.
Kingsport Alliance for Continued Learning (KACL), in partnership with East Tennessee State University at Kingsport, was established in 1993 to provide adults, regardless of educational background or age, opportunities to attend stimulating courses, lectures and special events. A volunteer board of directors manages KACL and board members often serve as instructors. KACL greatly benefits from its ready access to ETSU and other regional faculty as they share their expertise in community outreach, as well as from talented local instructors with interesting topics.

Classes are informal with no homework, grades or tests. They offer the opportunity to indulge your intellectual curiosity, engage in discussion, and enjoy a congenial and cooperative setting among friends and neighbors. In-person and virtual class options are available.
