A Resource Group on Continuing Education and Community Service was organized to study continuing education service programs in Connecticut and make recommendations regarding them to the state Commission for Higher Education. Examination of existing programs revealed a substantial rise in the number of citizens taking advantage of these programs; the absence of well defined programs in many of the state's institutions; the absence of appropriate and systematic program coordination between institutions; the need for cooperation among institutions of higher education and other public and private sources of programs in order to make information available and access easier; the difficulties encountered by those who would enroll in such programs and their need for services that would enable them to gain the most from study in the time allowable; and the need for greater practical recognition for faculty in these programs. The Resource Group presents specific recommendations directed at each of these conditions. (JMF)
