Learning in Retirement

Programs offer special learning opportunities for retirees

Membership

All can become members of Learning in Retirement and participate in diverse learning activities. Current members come from a wide range of experiences and backgrounds. There are no educational prerequisites, age limitations, exams or grades. Members share one essential attribute: the belief that learning is lifelong.

  • Annual membership cost is nominal. Members can attend any of the courses offered for a small registration fee, although restrictions on class size may apply.
  • The membership year begins July 1, but prospective members may enroll at any time. Membership entitles each member to free campus parking (when attending a LIR event), a UW-L Library card and student discounts at the UW-L Bookstore.
  • There are no membership requirements that involve prior educational experience—high school, college or otherwise.
  • Members pay no fees for Travel Talks, Cabin Fever Series and Summer Series.
  • You may attend one complimentary class session before joining LIR by calling and notifying us of the class you wish to attend. We'll prepare a nametag and a parking permit for you.

How to become a LIR member:

To request a membership form or inquire about membership, or if you have questions or want to attend a complimentary class session, contact UW-L Continuing Education and Extension at 608.785.6506 or continuinged@uwlax.edu.
