Metro Detroit Learning Series
The IOG also reaches beyond the city to provide dynamic education opportunities to educate seniors in smaller, informal settings. Forums are held 6-8 times per year across the metropolitan Detroit area, to audiences of between 40-100 seniors. They consist of a variety of topics and speakers from the academic and professional community.
Our senior population is faced with constantly changing needs and industry trends. By providing cutting edge education in an environment that allows for open dialogue with experts, we can help to provide the key to a healthy, productive way of life.
The faculty and staff at the IOG appreciate the support of our corporate and community partners. The sponsorship we receive helps us provide community outreach in a consistent manner.
