FRAMINGHAM, MA — A joint Framingham State University and Framingham Public Library program offering college courses to local adults over age 60 will be available this fall. Registration for the Lifelong Learning Program opened on Wednesday.

Here's more from a Framingham State University press release:

Registration opens Wednesday for the fall Adventures in Lifelong Learning Program, which will offer free courses over Zoom to seniors taught by FSU faculty and community leaders.

Adventures in Lifelong Learning is an academic program designed to provide intellectual, creative, and social engagement for adults aged 60 and over. A collaboration between Framingham State and the Framingham Public Library, the program will offer courses remotely during October 2021, using the Zoom audio and video conferencing platform. The program will include courses in art, literature, music, nutrition and political science, free of charge or for a voluntary donation. Online registration opens Sept. 8 at 11 a.m.

Framingham State has been sponsoring the Adventures in Lifelong Learning Program in partnership with Framingham Public Library since 2011. The goal of the program is to decrease social isolation among seniors while keeping them active and healthy, nurturing their intellect and creativity, and promoting their well-being.
