Lifelong Learning for Adults Age 55+
University Express offers free educational classes for older adults in Erie County. The program runs during spring and fall semesters. You will find classes in a variety of categories, including current affairs, history, humanities, finance and medicine.
Classes are designed to stimulate the mind and provide opportunities to build social networks, thereby reducing social isolation. Visit EC Senior Services Combat Social Isolation page for other opportunities to keep your mind stimulated and active. No homework or tests, just exciting discussions alongside peers with similar interests!
"We are thankful for our ability to provide online content during these times. We know that staying active and informed helps to combat social isolation and that is something we take very seriously."
-David J. Shenk, Commissioner, Erie County Department of Senior Services
