General

Information

Board approved the first set of bylaws which included this mission statement:

About the Society for

Lifelong Learning at WKU

In 2014, the WKU Division of

Extended Learning and Outreach

(DELO) formed an exploratory committee of interested community and University members to explore the possibility of creating a lifelong learning program for area residents over

50. The group convened in April of 2014 and spent several months reviewing similar programs from around the country, the demographics of the region, and the viability of creating a program at WKU.

Members of the group gathered positive feedback from members of a variety of area clubs and organizations. Based on this input, the group recommended the formation of the Society for

Lifelong Learning (SLL) at WKU and agreed to continue as its founding Advisory Board. After hosting a successful open house for the community in November of 2014, the Board approved dates for an inaugural term in

Spring 2015 and charged the

Curriculum Committee and the

Membership Relations Committee with preparing for the upcoming launch. In December 2014, the

The Society for Lifelong

Learning (SLL) at

WKU is a Universitysupported membership organization whose mission is to provide opportunities for adults age 50 and over, living in south-central

Kentucky, to further their knowledge in both academic and recreational pursuits and to share their experiences and interests with other members.

The Society welcomes anyone with an active interest in learning, regardless of level of formal education. We look forward to your active participation as we build and grow this community of active adult learners.
