Education

USS provides many opportunities to continue learning, including private groups for special circumstances, classes on a variety of health topics, and lifelong learning for the joy of learning.

Wellness programs designed to support successful aging are offered regularly at USS. Workshops including Aging Mastery, Healthy Living (Chronic Disease, Diabetes Management, and Pain Management), and Matter of Balance are designed to manage chronic conditions from a holistic perspective.

These are scheduled at various locations on topics of interest to the community. Physicians, healthcare professionals, attorneys, insurance agents, and law enforcement representatives are popular presenters.

USS organized the Springfield Area Institute for Lifelong Learning (SAILL) with the mission to offer our community a catalog of intellectually stimulating education for adults age 55 or better that inspires discovery and discussion in an informal atmosphere. We offer winter, spring, summer, and fall terms.
