Are you eager to learn something you never knew before? Do you enjoy getting together with others to discuss critical national issues, the latest technological breakthroughs, or what inspires an artist? Do other people's passions about literature, art, science, or history ignite your own curiosity? Or perhaps you want to learn how to may your family tree, write a personal memoir, create a better garden, or experience the rich cultural history of the region. You can do all of these things, and more, as a member of the Lifelong Learning Institute at Virginia Tech. There are no prerequisites or eligibility requirements, no tests or grades, just great conversations and new experiences shared with others. The Lifelong Learning Institute (LLI) at Virginia tech is a member-driven, volunteer organization that draws on the wealth of academic and community resources in the New River Valley to provide intellectual, cultural, and social experiences for curious adults 50 and older. The LLI enjoys the strong support of Virginia Tech, which provides infrastructure (registration, website development, catalog design, office space, classrooms, current and retired faculty, and start-up funding) for the initiative. But LLI is a member organization, run by volunteers committed to meeting the interests of its members throughout the New River Valley. Join us as a learner, volunteer instructor, class assistant, committee member, special interest group leader, or in many other ways. We will need your help to build a rich and rewarding array of offerings in the years to come!
