RHINELANDER – Nicolet College is inviting area seniors to explore its Learning in Retirement (LIR) program this fall.
A release from Nicolet said the program will offer more than 30 classes and events designed to bring fun, diverse and culturally enriching programming to Northwoods retirees.
The Learning in Retirement program will begin with the Fall Kickoff event on Wednesday, Sept. 9 at the Nicolet College campus in Rhinelander. RSVP is required.
“LIR members can enjoy a variety of offerings in the fall lineup, including ‘Information on Vaccines in 2026’ and ‘Foods from the Great Gatsby Era,’” Nicolet stated. “Hear interesting stories from ‘Ed the Diver’ and his ‘mermaid’ Christie about the many lakes and rivers they have helped clean up and the treasures they have uncovered.”
The popular Ced Vig Nature Series, in collaboration with LIR, returns with expert-led presentations at Nicolet College, such as “The Holmboe Conifer Forest,” “Connecting with our Night Sky: How to Preserve and Protect Dark Skies in the Northwoods,” “Lake Sciences Basics,” and “Loon Rescue in the Northwoods,” Nicolet said.
Sessions will be offered in person at Nicolet College and virtually via Zoom.
“Beyond the classroom, members can enjoy unique excursions and social events, including tours of a Christmas Tree Farm and Cranberry Marsh,” Nicolet said. “The ever-popular ‘Lunch Bunch’ offers members the chance to connect over great food while exploring area restaurants.”
LIR at Nicolet College is a membership-based program providing short-term learning opportunities for retired and semi-retired individuals. For the annual membership fee of just $50, members can join anytime and gain access to a variety of engaging classes and events each fall and spring.
