Academy for Lifelong Learners

Formerly known as Senior American's Day, the Academy for Lifelong Learners provides attendees a day of education and connection.

Welcome to the 34th Annual Academy for Lifelong Learners!

Senior Americans Day is returning with a new name: Academy for Lifelong Learners!

This “positively ageless” program will once again provide a fun day of education, resources, and social interaction. You do not want to miss it!
