with the start of a new semester comes a number of learning opportunities. at 世界杯2022预选赛录像回放 we believe that learning is a lifelong process, and the 2020-21 academic year marks the 20th anniversary of the launch of lipscomb’s lifelong learning program.
sponsored by the office of alumni engagement, the lifelong learning program offers people of retirement and semi-retirement age an opportunity to expand knowledge and explore new ideas in an informal, non-competitive environment.
“learning occurs in a pleasant social atmosphere in classes with one’s peers. there are no exams and no grades or credits,” said amy hamar, director of lifelong learning and senior alumni programs at lipscomb. “there is no previous educational requirement and students may select one or more of the courses offered and engage in that ongoing work of learning. we always have an interesting lineup of classes and special events each year that our students really enjoy.”
the lifelong learning program has a variety of virtual, live classes and on-demand video offerings this spring. spring 2021 classes will be offered in one session, which begins feb. 1 and continues through april 27, and each class will range from six to ten weeks in duration. each course is $80 per person, per class.
the spring program officially begins on tuesday, jan. 26 with a virtual kickoff reception from 3-4 p.m. cst. participants may join in the fun via zoom and learn more about the upcoming semester of classes, meet professors and classmates, and ask questions about the registration process. register here for the kick-off event.
