Contrary to popular belief, our brains are not "done growing" once we reach adulthood—far from it! Instead, as we learn new things and forge new connections, our neural web grows deeper, richer, and more complex. LearningLife's diverse collection of learning opportunities, inspiring instructors, and enriching collegiate environment make a great way to build your "web" and keep your brain fit!

In Immigration in the 21st Century, migration researcher Reina Rodríguez will discuss perspectives on immigration while looking at historical and political shifts in migration, and explore the complex dynamics that influence our understanding of nation, country, and belonging.

For decades, longtime LearningLife instructor Jerry Allan has espoused that "making" your life should be considered a creative process akin to that of composing a symphony, painting a picture, or writing a novel. His newest course, Reinventing Your Future, is a workshop in applied creativity for those who seek a path that leads to happiness and fulfillment. Participants will use proven techniques to identify what they want and why, followed by creative strategies for action and follow through.
