Otterbein’s Lifelong Learning Community (LLC) is celebrating 10 years of providing classes, activities, and events for its aged 55+ community of lifelong learners in Westerville and beyond. Founded by Professor Emerita Alison Prindle and Becky Fickel Smith ’81, former executive director of alumni relations, the membership has grown from 33 members to more than 200 who participate in weekly classes and activities. Over the past decade, the LLC has sponsored more than 300 classes/ programs, hosted more than 170 instructors (most of whom are Otterbein faculty members and LLC members), and supported 18 Otterbein students with donations to help them reach their goal of graduating from college. If you aren’t in central Ohio, we encourage you to explore the virtual membership option.
At the welcome back event, Senior Vice President and Provost Wendy Sherman Heckler shared how LLC members can take advantage of campus offerings in addition to their weekly LLC classes.
L to R: LLC members Connie McKay, Saundra Spencer, and Joanne Blackburn enjoyed the annual welcome back event, held in August at the Campus Center.
