Overview

Eager to continue learning? If you are at least 40 years old, enjoy stimulating conversation, and love to learn, UA Fort Smith’s Lifelong Learning Institute (LLI) is for you! The LLI is specially designed for lifelong learners who want to keep up with what's going on in the world or who simply enjoy learning. We offer a wide choice of learning opportunities with welcoming peers in pleasant, comfortable, and informal class settings. Classes are held in the Echols Conference Center.
