The concept of continuing to challenge and learn throughout one’s lifetime is the driving force behind Northwestern Michigan College’s Lifelong Learning Campus Day Nov. 18. Attendees of all ages will be able to explore topics ranging from global issues to travel, technology, local attractions, fitness and cooking techniques. The concept is to continue learning throughout one’s lifetime, improving memory, increasing self-confidence, keeping the body active and generating a feeling of accomplishment.
