“Since learning about and joining CLIR I’ve really been amazed by the options available to me, and their quality of presenters and presentations, all at low cost. I think it is incredible.”
“Great service for those of us of a certain age who like to keep up with trends, new ideas and who just like the chance to get out of the house. No pressure and a welcoming feeling helps too.”
“All of the programs I have attended have been very well done. The speaker is always very knowledgeable and I always leave having increased my knowledge of the subject matter.”
“Memoir class is wonderful. I have met many interesting people who have become friends. Come visit us on a Thursday and hear our stories.”
Promoting Lifelong Learning Through CLIR
Exercise your mind with good friends.
UConn Extension's Center for Learning in Retirement (CLIR) provides meaningful and serious intellectual activities for retirees and other adults from all walks of life, conducted in an informal and relaxed atmosphere. There are no academic requirements.
CLIR classes are offered in two formats: single classes (one 90-minute class) and multi-week classes (two or more classes scheduled in successive weeks). To attend these classes, you can become a CLIR member by registering online or by mail - note that there is a $30 registration fee per term for doing so.
All classes will be held at the Vernon Cottage on the Mansfield Depot Campus at the University of Connecticut.
Join CLIR today. New members are always welcome! If you would like to sample a class or two at no cost, you are invited to do so.
