Lifelong Learners Institute

The Lifelong Learners Institute offers open courses for the community independent of Canisius University degree programs. Our instructors come from a wide range of academic disciplines to give our courses a broad cross-section of knowledge, interests, and experience. No papers or tests are given! Just much good discussion!

Classes meet weekly for six to seven weeks and are limited to 16 students. Cost is $60 for single attendance, $100 for couples. Questions? Contact Yvonne Widenor at 716-888-2531.
