Our Spring semester began on Monday, March 11 and runs through Friday, May 17.  While formal registration is now closed, many of our offerings are available on a “walk-in” first-come-first-served basis. 

The following offerings are currently available on a walk-in basis:

- Courses: C10.

- Lectures: L12, L13

- Field trips: FT5. 

 

To register as a walk-in, please complete the registration form from your catalog or download and complete one from this website and bring it, along with a check or cash (exact amount would be appreciated!), to any available class you wish to attend. Please arrive early enough to check in with the TA and get your name card. 

 

To download a registration form from this web site, click on the “Registration” button at left and follow the instructions.

 

Slides from Dave Thomas’s March 18 lecture on Global Warming are available to download as a pdf.  Click on the “Lectures” button, go to “L1: Science, Pseudoscience and the Battle over Global Warming” and follow the instructions.

 

Our member-driven, volunteer-run structure enables us to keep quality high and fees low. For 2013, for the first time in over five years, we have reluctantly raised our fees to $7 a session and $10 for field trips to meet rising costs as we strive to maintain our unique identity among local adult education opportunities, including: academic-style courses limited to 30 or fewer students to encourage discussion and questions; classes of up to five two-hour sessions to allow for meaningful exchanges with the instructors; and no membership or registration fees.

 

Since 1990, LifeLong Learning (LLL) has offered daytime academic-level courses, lectures and field trips that stimulate the intellect and help to expand the knowledge of adults aged 50+ in the Albuquerque area. All our offerings are taught by experts; many are retired professors and professionals. Our member-driven, volunteer-run structure enables us to keep quality high and fees low. Unless otherwise noted in the descriptions, classes are limited to 28 participants to encourage discussion and questions. Some lecture sessions may somewhat exceed that number. 

 

Anyone who enrolls becomes a member of LifeLong Learning for one year. In administering our policies and programs, we do not discriminate on the basis of race, gender, religion, ethnicity or sexual preference.
