Welcome to the Division of Lifelong Learning and Community Engagement! Our mission is to serve you.

If you are an individual wishing to realize your educational, career, or personal enrichment goals; advance or change your career pathway; become better informed about your world; or find fulfillment through involvement in a variety of programs, activities, and services, we are here for you.

If you represent an organization, company, ngo, association, or agency, we are here to serve you as well. We don’t work in isolation. We work through partnerships – with faculty members and with other units here at UW-Oshkosh; with community organizations; with regional employers; with a variety of educational institutions; and with the University of Wisconsin Extension. While we primarily serve residents of northeast Wisconsin, we reach into the world to gather ideas, secure resources, and offer our services wherever they are needed.

This Division works hard to reach out to people of all ages, and we do it with a human touch. You won’t call us and talk to a computer or select from a menu of electronic choices to get where you want to be. You will talk to one of us, and most of us have been (or are) nontraditional students. We understand the importance of working with those who relate to the unique circumstances of working adults and who can serve as their advocate.

The Division of Lifelong Learning and Community Engagement currently offers an array of programs and services for learners of all ages -- bachelor’s degrees and certificate programs for nontraditional learners; a support program for helping nontraditional learners negotiate the return to school; workshops and seminars for community residents; youth programs; professional group conferences; a learning in retirement program; and much more.

Please explore the web links for the Adult Nontraditional Student Resource Office, Continuing Education/Extension, or the Center for New Learning. Then give us a call. You may reach me through email: tadlockm@uwosh.edu or by calling the LLCE office at 920-424-1129 or 800-633-1442.
