About us
Welcome to Scholars For Life! CCSU’s Life, Leisure & Community group for curious, active adults who love learning and connecting with others. We gather for engaging on‑campus events, special programs, and community activities that spark conversation, friendship, and fun.
Members can also explore the world through Central Discover Abroad, offering immersive, non‑credit travel experiences designed for lifelong learners. These summer journeys bring alumni and community members together to discover new places, cultures, and ideas—all in a welcoming, social atmosphere.
Whether you join us for a campus lecture, a local outing, or an unforgettable trip abroad, you’ll be part of a vibrant community that believes learning is a lifelong adventure.
Come learn, explore, and connect with us!
