Lone Star College’s Academy for Lifelong Learning (ALL) Program has free and low-cost classes for retired, semi-retired and working adults to help them continue to learn and grow.
“The Academy for Lifelong Learning program offers non-credit courses, lectures and activities that will expand our members’ knowledge and develop their social connections,” said Linda Leto Head, LSC Senior Associate Vice Chancellor External and Employer Relations.
