Lifelong Learning
Our Mission
Lifelong Learning (LLL) seeks to provide quality, community oriented programs for people of various ages. UCM鈥檚 LLL series is designed to provide programs and performances that enlighten and inform people throughout the region. All programs are free and open to the public. Please join us!
Our History
Lifelong Learning (LLL) began with an interest survey distributed to UCM鈥檚 to members of the UCM Emeriti and Retiree Association in April 2010. In June, 2010 a committee of emeriti members, Dee Hudson, Justyn Graham, Harold Sampson, and Deems Brooks met to begin planning a variety of ungraded learning opportunities for older adults within the community. Though not serving on the committee, Dick Carr aided with media releases. Darlene Laubenstein replaced Hudson on the committee in April 2011 and Karen Haase was added in the summer of 2011.
