Saint Leo University Education Center Renamed To Reflect Mission

ST. LEO, FL — It’s a new year and a new name for one of Saint Leo University’s education centers.

Effective Tuesday, the former East Pasco Education Center now will be the Center for Adult Learning at University Campus.

This name change is in keeping with the center’s mission of educating adult learners and those of nontraditional college age. Adult learners choose to pursue bachelor’s and master’s degrees to strengthen their skillsets or reskill and change careers, and Saint Leo’s Center for Adult Learning will focus on assisting students to meet those goals.

The Center for Adult Learning is based on the first floor of Saint Edward Hall, one of the oldest buildings on campus, which is at 33701 State Road 52, St. Leo. Included at the Center for Adult Learning are the offices of Rod Kirkwood, regional director for the center as well as the Tampa and MacDill education centers; Liz Castro, assistant director; Susan Splain, student adviser; Kyra Yoder, academic adviser; and Otavia Kennedy, who is the assistant director of admissions for the campus and Ocala centers.
