Lifelong learning is the pursuit of knowledge, skills, and personal development throughout our lives. It is a wonderful way to keep our brains healthy and strengthen our knowledge about the world around us.
We invite you to take a look at upcoming classes that you can take at our local universities as a way to expand your knowledge, learn new skills, and dive deep into topics of interest.
