Who We Are & What We Do
For 30 years, the Veritas Society Lifelong Learning Institute has brought adults age 50 and better in the Louisville area together through a shared love of learning, meaningful connection, and curiosity about the world. We believe learning is essential to brain health and overall well-being as we age, and an active mind supports a fuller, more engaged life.
Our purpose is simple: to keep our minds active, open, and growing through enriching learning experiences that:
• explore our history and shared culture
• keep us informed about and engaged with the world around us
• help us make sense of an ever-changing world and find our place within it
• Foster belonging through meaningful social connection and shared experiences
Our members include retirees, semi-retirees, and those still working -- people from many professions and backgrounds. We welcome individuals from every walk of life, belief system, and educational experience. You don't need to be a Bellarmine graduate or have any University affiliation - Veritas is open to everyone. Our organization is guided by a Board of Directors elected by our membership.
Veritas is a hands-on learning community. Our members shape our programs, and we invite engaging speakers and instructors from across the region to share their knowledge and experiences.
We offer six-week learning programs each fall and spring, along with additional classes, talks, and social activities during the winter and summer months.
