Welcome to the Institute for Learning in Retirement 

Our goal is simple: create opportunities for retired professionals to share their knowledge and skills. Learning is lifelong, and we offer active learning and connections with like-minded peers.

With us, you won't have to worry about long-term commitments. Our groups meet for two hours once a week, for either four or eight weeks, giving you the flexibility to pursue your passions without sacrificing your schedule. We also offer a lecture series, presented by experts with various backgrounds.

In addition to our core offerings, membership with the Institute of Learning in Retirement also includes attendance at Farmingdale State College events, a monthly newsletter, special events, tours and an annual luncheon. We are committed to providing you with exciting, educational programs that will enhance your retirement experience.
