Community education may be sponsored by the college, some other agency using the college facilities, or jointly by the college and some outside group. It may be provided on campus or off campus, or through television, the newspapers, or radio. It may center on education or recreation, or programs for personal interests or for the benefit of a specific business or the entire community.
