AARP remains committed to helping people maintain brain health as they age. Engaging one’s brain through ongoing learning and staying socially connected are two of the top ways to stay sharp at any age. These principles play into the University of Lynchburg’s decision to take on a new endeavor entitled “LIFE@Lynchburg”.
The University of Lynchburg’s LIFE@Lynchburg program offers not-for-credit learning opportunities for community members aged 50 and older. Ultimately, the program is a community of lifelong learners who explore topics together and do what the University of Lynchburg is known for — building friendships and connections that last a lifetime. The program features weekly presentations on a variety of engaging topics, taught by current and retired faculty and staff members or area educators and presenters. Ten classes are offered each semester (fall and spring). LIFE@Lynchburg is for people who love learning, want to dig deeper into their areas of interest or discover something new. With LIFE@Lynchburg, you’ll learn about history, science and technology, arts, culture, politics, and more. There are no requirements or prerequisites, only that you’re ready to dive in, learn about and discuss interesting topics, and make some new friends along the way.
