Adult education programs at community colleges throughout America aim to serve local interests, and Monterey Peninsula College is no exception. The main campus of the two-year institution—founded in 1947 as part of the California Community Colleges system—is a familiar feature of the pleasing approach to Monterey and Pacific Grove from U.S. Highway 1. John Steinbeck did much of his writing in and about the area, so it’s no surprise that creative writing, creative writers, and Steinbeck’s life play a bigger role at Monterey Peninsula College than on most campuses of similar size. The latest example of this preoccupation is the adult education series Gentrain (for General Education Train of Courses), where Steve Hauk will discuss Steinbeck: The Untold Stories, short stories about Steinbeck’s life, from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday, September 5, in Lecture Forum 103 at Monterey Peninsula College. Lisa Ledin, the weekend host for KAZU-FM radio, will read from the collection. Admission is free. Campus parking is $3.
