"A rewarding experience giving of my time. I am using old skills, learning new ones."
“I came to Providence newly retired, knowing no one in the city, and not knowing of any outlets for the intellectual stimulation I sought. I stumbled upon LLC. I was able to delve into a broad array of fascinating courses, and I suddenly found myself in close connection with many incredibly wonderful people from Providence and surrounding towns. LLC has been nothing short of a godsend for me." –GH, retired corporate lawyer
“Everyone comes to LLC to enjoy a shared learning experience. Best of all, the days of competing for grades are long gone, so participants are supportive of and helpful to each other as they explore a topic together.” –EB, lifelong learner
“I joined LLC two years ago and have taken two courses since, both of which I hugely enjoyed. Learning takes place in a congenial environment among small groups of like-minded people who nevertheless bring diverse backgrounds to the subjects being discussed. I find these discussions informative and the exchange of ideas always stimulating. For me, taking an LLC course is a thoroughly pleasurable experience.” –AB, retired military officer
