Lifelong Learning, New Offering. Are You In?

“The main thing I learned at Yale,” I heard more than one classmate say at the reunion, “is how to learn.”

Other key features mentioned were the breadth of delicious subjects we had no clue about and a commitment to lifelong learning.

“Commencement is not the end,” Kingman said at our graduation.  “It’s the beginning, the beginning of a lifelong process of extending your knowledge and awareness well beyond what you know today … and even what’s known or knowable today.”

Yale supports this promise by sharing its world-class teaching resources with alumni in a number of ways:

• those wonderful lectures offered during reunions,
• faculty talks to classes, shared interest groups and local Yale Clubs,
• a panoply of online Yale courses, many of them free, and even
• the alumni travel program, which is built around an educational theme.

The pandemic has created a wonderful new  opportunity to sign up for:

• abbreviated Online Courses (4 weeks x 60 mins/week),
• Upcoming Webinars (once, 90 minutes) and even
• a backlist of videos of prior webinars (“On-Demand Webinars“).

This program is called Alumni Academy, and you can email edtravel@yale.edu to ask to get notified about new courses or webinars as they become available.

Here is the menu of offerings as of today:
