Janna Overstreet is Lifelong Learning Academy’s executive director. Education that lasts a lifetime is both her passion and profession. “Our academy sets the standard other educational organizations follow,” she says. Overstreet praises LLA, celebrating its 15th anniversary, for, “creating intellectual and cultural stimulation in an informal, supportive atmosphere. Our students experience lively discussions promoting personal growth and social engagement. It’s a true meeting of the minds.” She adds that LLA’s instructors come from, “the top of their fields,” and include CEOs of major companies, professional artists, writers and photographers, experts in science and medical research, and educators from renowned universities and colleges.” Overstreet describes the Sarasota-Manatee region as, “a mecca for lifelong learners. This is definitely the place to be if you want to continue to grow and experience an active retirement.”

Lifelong Learning Academy was recently recognized with WEDU’s “Be More Empowered Award.” The award recognizes a small nonprofit that best demonstrates the truth in the statement that “big things come in small packages.”

Lifelong Learning Academy offers four course terms per year on the USFSM campus, at 8350 N. Tamiami Trail, Sarasota. The summer term runs from June 2-July 24.
