Download Press Release

Hillsdale, Mich. – Hillsdale College announced today that registration for its all-inclusive learning vacation packages is now open. Hillsdale’s Lifelong Learning Seminars cover a variety of topics including history, literature, the liberal arts, the U.S. Constitution, economics, and religion.

“Lifelong Learning Seminars offer guests the opportunity to discuss timeless topics with some of Hillsdale’s finest professors,” said Peggy Youngs, director of the Lifelong Learning Seminar program. “At a time when many universities and public discourse at large have turned toward attacks and accusations and away from conversations, our seminars offer an opportunity to reclaim the art of civil discourse.”

Seminars are offered at three locations: on campus at Hillsdale College in Hillsdale, Michigan; at the Allan P. Kirby, Jr. Center for Constitutional Studies and Citizenship located in Washington, D.C.; and at the pristine Rockwell Lake Lodge in secluded Luther, Michigan.

In addition to the intense discussions with Hillsdale faculty members and fellow program participants, guests can enjoy various opportunities for relaxation, recreation, and fitness. All seminars are all-inclusive, with meals, accommodations, and other amenities covered in the registration fee.
