Welcome to Lifelong Learning at Wofford Winter term registration is now open. Winter term runs Jan 6-31. Registration Help Guide Winter 2025Term Flyer > Clubs, Events and Trips > Clubs

Clubs   

Clubs are created by members for members and are free to join and participate if you are a Lifelong Learning annual member. Sometimes a club will decide to go to a winery or movie together and there may also be costs to buy books or wine or rent movies online. You can choose to attend all club events or pick and choose. No one is taking the roll. Our clubs have different meeting schedules and locations so be sure to review the details of those you are interested in before signing up. Joining puts you on a roster so that you can be reminded of events and provided with additional information from our volunteer hosts.

If interested in a club, register for free to participate so you can receive emails with periodic updates. Also, look in the term weekly eblast for announcements.
