Cheshire Academy for Lifelong Learning

About CALL

Keene State College’s Institute for Lifelong Learning is the Cheshire Academy for Lifelong Learning (CALL), which is affiliated through the Institute Network with ELDERHOSTEL, now known as Road Scholar.  View a letter from Nancy Merz-Nordstrom, the Director of the Elderhostel Institute Network, to read more about this partnership.

The difference between ELDERHOSTEL/ROAD SCHOLAR and Institutes for Lifelong Learning like CALL is that our program is not residential. CALL is an educational program aimed at seniors and/or retired folks.

We offer a wide range of liberal arts courses at very low cost to participants who take an active role in the planning of the courses and occasionally in the leading of some classes, although most classes are led by paid faculty from Keene State or experts from the area. CALL classes are offered for eight weeks in the fall and eight weeks in the spring.

CALL dates for Fall 2013 are 10/4 - 11/22/13.  Watch for more information about CALL for the fall, as well as a special "mini-program" for the month of September.
