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 various 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 want to discover something new.
With LIFE@Lynchburg, you’ll learn about history, science and technology, arts, culture, politics, and more. The program is open to residents of the surrounding community, alumni, and existing Lynchburg friends and family! There are no requirements or prerequisites, only that you’re ready to dive in, learn about and discuss interesting topics, and make new friends along the way. Also, after the presentations, you can eat lunch, get coffee, or hang out with one or more of your new friends at Lynchburg’s dining facilities!
