For the week of November 17 - November 21, 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!


It's time to get your calendar out and add these important dates for Spring of 2026!

As you may have heard, the School of Professional and Continuing Education is implementing a new registration software (Modern Campus) 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 class registration!

But anything new requires time to adapt - for you and for the LLI team! Which is why our registration and enrollment timeline will look a little different this term.

Please be on the look out for more information about the below events as the dates approach!

January 12 - Online Catalog Preview - Get a sneak peak of the Spring 2026 catalog on our website before the Open House!

January 13 - Spring 2026 Open House - Explore all that LLI has to offer in the coming term and pick up a catalog! Festival Conference Center Ballroom, 1-3pm.

Week of January 19th - Modern Campus Training - Join LLI staff for in-person training sessions to learn how to maximize your experience with the new software. Multiple training sessions will be held throughout the week in room 117 at the Ice House.

January 28th - Registration opens at 9am online and in person. Please note: In person registration may result in a wait times that can affect your registration. We strongly encourage you to sign up for classes online.

Week of February 9th - Classes and events begin!

Please be on the lookout for more information about each event as the date approaches.

Community Events

No community events this week.

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!
