SUNO College of Business and Public Administration to host computing class for seniors

 

NEW ORLEANS, LA – In order to help senior citizens become more adept with dealing with the ever changing digital age, the Southern University at New Orleans College of Business and Public Administration and its Department of Management Information Systems will be hosting a computer training seminar.  The session is scheduled for Saturday, October 27, 2012 at the SUNO College of Business Building in Room 202, located at 6801 Press Drive.  It will run from 9:00 – 10:30am.

 

“SUNO has always made it a part of its mission to be a partner with its community”, said Dr. Yanjun Yu, an Assistant Professor of Management Information Systems who will be conducting the class.  “General computer skills such as using the internet, utilizing email, and home budgeting are really useful for seniors and can improve the daily quality of their lives by allowing them to keep in touch with loved ones, access more entertainment options and to better manage their finances.  We’re excited to offer this class and hope that there is sufficient demand so we can do this again.”

 

The class is limited to the first 25 seniors who wish to participate.  Attendees must be 60 years of age or older to enroll.  Contact Shelina Gethers for more information at (504)286-5141 or via email at sgethers@suno.edu.
