You are invited to participate in the joy of learning, exploring, and growing.

WELCOME!  The University of Dayton has a tradition of including adult learners in its community.

• 1920....UD turned on the lights at night and began an evening college which made university-level education available to Daytonians who worked during the day.

• 1945....Returning veterans of World War II  -- and later, Korea and Vietnam -- matured the student body and added unique learning experiences to the classroom environment.

• 1952....Free audit tuition for persons 60 and over made UD a pioneer in intergenerational learning.  (Today, the program is called Senior Fellows and it’s been joined by a summer Elderhostel program, the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at UD (UDLLI) and the New Horizons Band.

• 1960….Graduate studies, abandoned during World War II, were reinstituted.

Today, UD continues this tradition with graduate and undergraduate courses available, along with short-term learning opportunities such as workshops, seminars, teleconferences, and forums.  In addition, there is a wealth of resources for independent learning:  the university’s libraries, plays, concerts, recitals, gallery exhibits, lectures, etc.  Pick what interests you.
