Nicolet College Learning in Retirement Set to Launch New Season of Offerings

Nicolet College’s Learning in Retirement program will feature another fun-filled, learning-inspired collection of offerings for Winter/Spring 2023 that will include many new classes along with fresh takes on traditional favorites.

“Learning in Retirement has been engaging the minds of older, active adults for 25 years,” said Cate Hallisy, LIR president. “We're proud to present a broad spectrum of classes and a significant range of topics that will meet the interests of all our members. We provide experiences that encourage both intellectual and social interaction. Join us! Meet your neighbors and find a place where curiosity never retires!”

Winter/Spring classes start Jan. 6 with What We’re Reading Now, an open discussion about interesting non-fiction.

Other upcoming offerings include a travelogue about Guatemala, learning about black bears in the popular Cedric Vig Nature Series, figuring out how to use your smart phone better, increasing your resilience in older adulthood, touring the Nicolet Art Gallery and automotive lab and more.

“Retirement is a fascinating time of life,” said Jane Banning, chair of the LIR Curriculum Committee. “Want to learn to play the ukulele? How about see the Oneida County Courthouse up close? Have lunch at the Nicolet College’s famous Top of the Hill culinary dining room or meet with friends to snowshoe or to have a meal out? All of that and more is available through Learning in Retirement at Nicolet College.”

Currently about 200 members from throughout the Northwoods belong to LIR. Annual membership is $45 and runs from July 1 to June 30 of the following year. Members can join at any time during the year and take as many or as few classes as they desire.
