Lifelong Learning Institute
WELCOME!!
The Lifelong Learning Institute at Vassar College (Vassar LLI) offers a broad range of non-credit educational courses and activities to members aged 55 and over at a minimal cost. Classes are taught by volunteer members, retired and active Vassar faculty, and outside experts.
Vassar LLI is a volunteer-run organization. It is designed for adults who love to learn and who wish to contribute to the larger community in their pursuit of knowledge.
We are committed to forming a community that will advance the education of its members in a collaborative fashion. Most classes are conducted in small groups to promote discussion, informed by the interests and knowledge of both our instructors and LLI members.
As a member-run organization, we seek applicants who can make a commitment as both learners and contributors to our community.
