There are so many ways to learn. In addition to our courses, the Rainbow Lifelong Learning Institute brings in one-time speakers from a variety of fields to shed light on exciting and challenging topics. These free 60-90 minute sessions are offered between semesters by guest speakers including authors, scientists, activists, writers, lawyers, social workers, artists, and many others. Currently, our speakers series takes place on Zoom.
