Lifelong Learning at Regis (LLARC) is learning at its best. It is a community of adult students involved in daytime courses and lectures designed and taught by their peers, people who like to learn something new in their leisure time. LLARC involves no tests, term papers or credits, nor any previous college experience. It is a chance to learn purely for its fun and meet new people of varied backgrounds and interests. Our common denominator is an eagerness to expand our minds in a relaxed and sociable atmosphere.
