If you’re 60 or better, you can build skills, explore new ideas, enhance understanding and enrich life by attending any state college or university, thanks to the Ohio Department of Higher Education’s Lifelong Learning program. (At some locations, students as young as 50 can enroll for free). Satisfy your thirst for learning at one of these colleges or universities nearby.

Perhaps you feel as though you are too casual when attending luncheons or game night with friends. It's easier to focus on one or two areas of your wardrobe that are lacking alignment with your current lifestyle.
