They say “if you don’t use it, you lose it,” and it’s true for our brains as much as our brawn. If you have been looking for a way to keep your mind active while interacting with engaging speakers, compelling instructors, and a cohort of like-minded learners on a regular basis, the Lifelong Learning Program at Marshall University is for you!
Launched in April 2018, the LLP was a dream of many members of the Huntington community who had experienced similar programs at other institutions or knew of them through friends.
The LLP has grown quickly and offers members a wide variety of learning opportunities. The program is comprised of adults, mostly 55 and older, who have a quest for knowledge. The members are mature learners in the community who wish to engage in stimulating and fun discussions and activities, and all share a common interest in continuing learning experiences and intellectual stimulation.
Join us and experience the unique benefits the Lifelong Learning Program at Marshall University has to offer! From guest speakers and short-term courses to day trips and access to numerous Marshall University resources, LLP membership gives you a multitude of benefits.
