The Lifelong Learning Society (LLS), a learning in retirement program of Coastal Carolina University’s Division of Extended Learning and Public Services, has a variety of courses available for the 2001 spring semester, which runs from Jan. 8 to March 30.

LLS is designed for adults who are interested in learning, exchanging ideas and becoming more socially and culturally interactive. Members are entitled to special features and benefits of the university, including use of the campus library and athletic facilities, free admission to athletic events, free or student rate admission to university cultural events in Wheelwright Auditorium, as well as special events such as one-day seminars and Lunch and Learn programs. The LLS was recognized nationally as a model program of its kind in 1999.

Most LLS classes are held in the Society House on Coastal’s campus. Extension sites include locations in North Myrtle Beach, Little River, Murrells Inlet and Webster University in Myrtle Beach. There is a $25 annual membership fee ($15 for spring semester only) and only LLS members may register for classes.

Early registration is recommended since many courses have limited enrollment. For more information or to enroll, call 349-2665 or visit Coastal’s Web site at www.coastal.edu/learn.
