Emeritus Society
Emeritus Society, a lifelong learning program affiliated with the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, provides stimulating noncredit opportunities for adult learners. The program creates a learning community that affirms the unique attributes that adult students bring to the classroom– delight in the joy of learning, intellectual savvy, and substantial life experience. Emeritus Society participants are encouraged and supported in pursuing their intellectual interests with like-minded peers. Our courses are designed to satisfy a hunger for intellectual nourishment without the pressure of tests and grades.
