Welcome!

AALL offers opportunities for lifelong learning for adults over 55.

Whether you are newly retired, long retired, or simply curious and eager to keep learning, Albion Area Lifelong Learners (AALL) invites you to be part of an engaging and friendly learning community.

What is AALL?

AALL was established by a representative group of retired persons in Albion in association with Albion College and the Elderhostel Institute Network. Sponsorship and a grant from Albion College enabled classes to begin in the spring of 2000. Since its founding, AALL membership has grown to more than 160 members from Albion and surrounding communities.

Our Mission

The mission of AALL is to provide opportunities for lifelong learning through discussion, intellectual and social interaction, and access to cultural events. In a supportive academic environment, members are encouraged to explore ideas, expand their knowledge, exercise creativity, engage in stimulating discussion, and challenge preconceived ideas—often with humor, insight, and respectful disagreement.

How Do I Sign Up?

AALL sends out a newsletter prior to the beginning of each semester with details about upcoming classes. In the newsletter is a registration form that you can bring to the General Assembly meeting held before classes start, and submit with payment, if applicable.

The current newsletter is also posted on the website and extra newsletters and registration forms are available at the General Assembly meetings. The form can also be mailed to:

AALL Registrar
P.O. Box 188
Albion, MI 49224

To be added to the AALL mailing list and receive the newsletter, please subscribe by visiting the Newsletters page, or contact the Registrar at registrar@albionaall.org.

The class registration deadline is one week after the Assembly meeting. Registrations received after that date cannot be accepted. Registrants will receive a confirmation letter shortly after the deadline with additional course information.
