The Cornell Mature Students Association will present "Back-2-School 2002," a seminar and recruiting event for mature students and potential mature students, in the Memorial Room of Cornell University's Willard Straight Hall from noon to 5 p.m. Sept. 22. "There has never been a better time for mature students --- those over 24 -- to come back to school," said Zoe Cohl, vice president of the campus student group that is composed of about 20 older or "nontraditional" students. The event is designed for people who are considering a variety of higher education options. "With a softened economy, enhanced educational opportunities and a stronger commitment to diversity, mature students have found this to be the perfect moment to reformulate their lives and increase their marketability through higher education."
