The Lourie Center launches rebranded continuing education program

The Lourie Center, in cooperation with Riggs Partners, has rebranded and re-launched its continuing education program. The Lourie Center was selected as one of the recipients of the October 2020 Riggs Partners CreateAthon®, a 24-hour marketing marathon designed to deliver professional marketing services to nonprofit organizations. From this event emerged a new name and image for the educational program for older adults; The Lourie Lectures replaces what was formerly the Midlands Lifelong Learning Program and will offer a series of courses (currently online) in March and April 2021.

The Lourie Lectures provide engaging discourse for adults over 50. Taught by academics and content experts, topics explore the arts and humanities, science, culture and more. Satisfy your thirst for learning through these weekly talks, presented by the Lourie Center, a 501(c)(3) organization.
