The Alumni Learning Collective
Illuminate ÐÔÊÀ½ç´«Ã½: The Alumni Learning Collective is a new lifelong learning program designed to keep ÐÔÊÀ½ç´«Ã½ alumni connected, curious, and inspired. Through short, engaging learning opportunities led by expert alumni and ÐÔÊÀ½ç´«Ã½ faculty, Illuminate ÐÔÊÀ½ç´«Ã½ invites alumni to explore timely topics, deepen personal and professional knowledge, and reconnect with the ÐÔÊÀ½ç´«Ã½ community.
Programs will be offered in a variety of formats — in person, virtual, and hybrid — making it easy for alumni near and far to participate. Sessions will be open to all alumni, with select opportunities designed especially for seminary alumni, young alumni, Golden Greyhounds, and the broader alumni community.
Whether you are looking to learn something new, engage in meaningful conversation, or reconnect with ÐÔÊÀ½ç´«Ã½â€™s spirit of inquiry, Illuminate ÐÔÊÀ½ç´«Ã½ offers a welcoming space to continue learning for life.

Wednesday, October 7 | 11:30 a.m., HUB 210

The session will include a live demonstration and time for audience questions. If you have questions, contact Carol Bassie at bassiec@moravian.edu.
