For the week of December 8 - 12, 2025
This Newsletter is meant to inform and update you about upcoming classes and events. We try to cover as much as we can each week, but it is not an exhaustive list of everything happening at LLI. We're a pretty busy place, and the Newsletter would turn into a novel if we listed everything!
So please note: Just because it isn't in the Newsletter doesn't mean it isn't happening! When in doubt about class times, event dates, or availability of social events, check out the LLI calendar on our website. That will always be the most up-to-date place so please check it regularly!
Registration Software Training
As we've mentioned, JMU LLI will be implementing a new registration software starting in January! This will be wonderful change for both staff and members as it will give you a much more traditional shopping experience when it comes to
However, we understand that using new platforms can be confusing and stressful! To help alleviate some of that stress, we'll be offering a series of in-person training sessions at the Ice House for JMU LLI members prior to registration day so you're not held up by any computer confusion!
We will send out registration information soon! But until then, please take a look at your calendar and see which date works best for you!
Jan 20, 9:30-11:30am
Jan 21, 1:30-3:30pm
Jan 22, 9:30-11:30am
And don't worry if you can't join us in person! We'll have plenty of "how to" information on our website, social media, and through this newsletter!
Be on the lookout for registration information the first week of January!
Winter Weather Reminder
With the snow today and winter coming, we wanted to remind you our weather policies! The JMU Lifelong Learning Institute will follow the same delay and closure decisions as the greater JMU community. That means, if JMU is closed with all classes cancelled, the JMU LLI is also closed with all classes, lectures, events, and trips postponed. If JMU has a delayed opening or early closure, JMU LLI will also follow those instructions. Some instructors may also cancel class, even if JMU does not close. So when weather is on the horizon, please check your email regularly. We will do our best to relay this information via email, through the WHSV closures announcements, and on our social media. We hope these policies keep everyone safe this winter!
Classes beginning this week:
Next week is the final week of classes for Fall 2025! No new classes!

While we'll still use email as our primary communication tool, Facebook will also be a fun and interactive way to learn more about what is going at LLI! Announcements, events, throw back photos - you won't want to miss it! We just updated some of our photos so check it out.
To ensure you see our posts both "Like" and "Follow" LLI. The more you interact with our posts (likes, comments, shares) the more you'll see on your feed (instead of annoying ads!)
Excited to see you online!
We hope to see you!
