Lifelong Learners and students in class at sea!

Lifelong learners and students in class at sea!

Lifelong Learners are non-student adults who sail as part of every Semester at Sea voyage. Retirees, professionals on leave, or simply adventurous travelers, they are respected for their expertise and insights. Lifelong learners audit undergraduate courses, attend field excursions, serve as mentors to undergraduates, and add a valuable generational element to class discussions.

For those with a passion for world travel, a love of learning, and a thirst for cross–cultural connections, the Semester at Sea Lifelong Learning Program provides an unparalleled experience.  It enables adults to travel with the ship and participate in classes around the world. 

A special promotion for the spring 2010 has just been announced.Lifelong Learners who confirm an inside or outside stateroom for the Spring 2010 voyage at the single rate may bring a second person to share their cabin at no additional cost.  If you are traveling alone and want to take advantage of this offer: the semester at sea’s office maintains a “roommate list” for those looking for a cabin-mate. Partial sailings are also available.

Students and Lifelong Learners On Semester At Sea Make A Difference Around the World

On the Fall 2009 voyage of Semester at Sea, students and lifelong learners have the unique opportunity to participate in a service learning project called The $100 Solution. The project poses a simple question: “What can you do to enhance the quality of life in a community?” Started in 2005 by the Rotary Club of Prospect-Goshen, Kentucky, students learn problem-solving skills and improve the lives of others through gifts of $100 to individuals and communities.

Global Nomads Group builds awareness of global issues such as service learning and social justice by documenting projects such as this and bringing them back by way of teleconference to thousands of students in classrooms all over the United States.
