Through the Senior University program, IU Northwest has offered programming to older adults for over two decades. Since 2012, CURE has successfully continued the program’s mission of engaging individuals ages 55+ in lifelong learning opportunities. Our vision is for Senior University to be a recognized model of lifelong learning that inspires, empowers, and enriches seniors.
CURE is excited to team up with Older Adults Technology Services (OATS) from AARP, and its flagship program Senior Planet, to bring our 60+ community of older adults more free educational sessions on health and wellness, technology, and much more!
