LiR History

Learning in Retirement or LiR is designed to stimulate and provide the means for intellectual and social activity in retirement, with peer leadership and group participation.

LiR is an independent, self-governing membership organization under the auspices of the Center for Community and Professional Learning at Quinebaug Valley Community College.

In November of 1994, a Steering Committee met and as a result, a social hour and information session was planned for January of 1995. There was a great turnout for this first meeting and by February of 1995 LiR had 120 Charter Members.

Today, membership continues to grow steadily and now there are over 350 members.
