The Elder Learners we know today was initiated by Experience Unlimited , a non-profit association of seniors established in 1985 as a community resource bank. In 1987, this group turned its attention to the concept of University of the Third Age , leading to an association of seniors committed to lifelong learning from which grew Elder Learners. Elder Learners was welcomed to its permanent home at Saint Mary s University in January 1989. Lectures for the Fall 2001 series will be held in both the Sobey Building and the Theatre Auditorium of the McNally Building. The lectures for September and November will be held in the Xerox Theatre in the Sobey Building and the October lecture will be held in the Theatre Auditorium of the McNally Building .
Lunch is provided with each lecture.
