The Lifelong Learning Institute at Virginia Tech is a member-driven, volunteer organization that draws on the wealth of academic and community resources in the New River Valley and beyond to provide intellectual, cultural, and social experiences for curious adults 50 and older.

LLI at Virginia Tech is a financially self-supporting entity of VT Continuing and Professional Education. LLI does not receive on-going funding from Virginia Tech. Member fees, sponsorships, and member donations to the LLI Members Annual Fund help balance the budget and keep the program affordable.
