University for Seniors
“Your program is life changing. It has opened up a whole new world for me”. It is with such words that our members describe AUB’s University for Seniors, an independent life-long learning program for older adults in AUB’s Continuing Education Center. The program aims to create a new and positive face of aging in Beirut, Lebanon and the Middle East Region; one where older adults remain intellectually and socially engaged, energized to learn new things, and actively contributing to their communities.
The University for Seniors is different from standard adult education programs with its three core principles: peer-learning, community-building, and intergenerational connections.
Peer-learning: Seniors learn from one another rather than from a paid professional instructor. Study group leaders and lecturers are all volunteers.
Community-building: The University for Seniors is a membership organization to reinforce the idea that one is joining a community rather than paying for one-off activities.
Intergenerational connections: The program is for seniors who wish specifically to be connected to the regular AUB student body. These intergenerational connections are created through multiple academic and extra-curricular activities.
Anyone over 50 may become a member of the University for Seniors. The academic year is comprised of two twelve week terms, one in the fall and one in the spring.
Activities include study groups, lectures, educational travel programs, social and cultural events, and projects with AUB students and more.
