DULUTH, Minn. – A University of Minnesota Duluth program is helping adults 50 and older continue the journey of lifelong learning.
University for Seniors is a program at UMD that offers intellectual and cultural development to promote learning among the older population.
The program is a peer-led learning program.
It is run in a study group format and volunteers like retired university faculty help teach courses.
The classes cover topics in areas like lifestyle, health, and more.
“I heard about the University for Seniors before I retired. I said when I retired, this is something I really want to do. When I did retire I got involved pretty quickly with the University for Seniors. In a sense you can use the phrase, I never looked back,” said Diane Kolquist, a student of the program.
