Mission and vision of the Academy

The mission of the University of Delaware Academy of Lifelong Learning is to provide opportunities for intellectual development, cultural stimulation, personal growth, and social interaction for people 50 and over in an academic cooperative run by its members who volunteer their time and talents. The Academy’s program is centered on classes developed and led by fellow members.

The vision of the Academy of Lifelong Learning is to be a premier educational program composed of a diverse membership of people 50 and older who come together and are intellectually, culturally, and socially stimulated in an academic atmosphere. Through its programs, the Academy enhances, enriches, and extends the quality of life of its members.
