The Illinois Lifelong Learning and Service Coalition

The most important function of Lifelong has been information sharing. Those starting new programs find a wealth of experience and advice from other members. Other goals are to:

  • Develop strategies to involve retirees on campus as learners, mentors, advocates, sharers of their life experiences.
  • Advocate for policy and programs that address the educational needs and interests of retirees.
  • Conduct research on the educational needs and interests of retirees and their attitudes about and habits of volunteering.
  • Inform the Illinois Board of Higher Education and the Illinois Community College Board about the trends and challenges of retirees.

The Lifelong Learning Institute at National-Louis University

What exactly is a lifelong learning program? Society has found that older people are avid learners. Scientists say those who continue to learn are physically and mentally healthier.  Universities throughout the U.S. have recognized this and are opening their doors to people of retirement age.
