 Who We Are
Since 1995, Veritas has offered the pre-eminent learning experience to people over 54 in the Louisville area. Our mission is to keep our minds active, open and growing, with the goals of:
- understanding our past history and cultural heritage;
- keeping members informed on what is happening in the world now;
- understanding changes in the world and finding our place in it.
We are retired or semi-retired people: doctors, educators, homemakers, office workers, administrators, artists and executives. We are governed by a Board of Directors elected by the membership.
What We Do
We are an active, participatory group that devises and develops its own programs, enlisting the best of regional talent for presentations. We offer a six week program in the Fall and Spring. Some of us teach or lead discussion groups, others facilitate courses, write copy, help with mailings, welcome new members or do community relations.

*Committees vary from three to twenty members. Everyone is welcome to join any of them.
