The LifeLong Learning Society of Christopher Newport University is a membership organization dedicated to persons of retirement age who seek opportunities for learning in an environment of sharing and fellowship. There are no requirements as to previous educational experience; intellectual curiosity is the only admission requirement.
Managed by
and for its members, the LLS is a program of the Office of University
Advancement and is an affiliate of the Elderhostel Institute Network.
Through a variety of activities – including lectures, courses, study and
discussion groups, lunches, dinners and field trips – persons of diverse
backgrounds come together to share a common interest in learning. There
are no exams or grades in the courses, although some courses include
assigned readings and the possible purchase of a text.
All persons of retirement age are encouraged to join if they are interested in being challenged by new ideas in the
company of other eager learners. The LLS shares its program with the community by participating in
joint learning efforts with other educational and research institutions, retirement groups, industries and
museums and by co-sponsoring three annual conferences.
