McAdam provides leadership to Foodshare's education and out- reach efforts, advocacy on behalf of hungry residents, building a stable base for the orga- nization, and acquiring a permanent facility for Foodshare.

"You're Never Too Old!" "You're never too old!"—words often spoken by an 85-year-old master's degree candidate at Trinity College Students older than 25 now constitute about 43 percent of enrollments in higher education, a figure that is projected to increase by 2020. Many adults are striving to improve their career prospects, but just as many are interested in personal enrichment. Faculty typically enjoy teaching adult students because they bring life experience and perspective to academic discussions. Such students tend to be focused, serious, and motivated to succeed. In short, adult students are a rewarding group to have in the classroom. As hockey great Wayne Gretzky once remarked, "You miss 100 percent of the shots you don't take." If you are thinking of returning to school, check out programs in your region that will meet your goals and desires. Remember, you're never too old to get into the game—and you'll have plenty of company.
