Five College Learning in Retirement (5CLIR) serves the Pioneer Valley of Western Massachusetts. Founded in 1988, it is sponsored by Five Colleges, Incorporated, a consortium formed by Amherst College, Hampshire College, Mount Holyoke College, Smith College, and the University of Massachusetts Amherst. 5CLIR is an affiliate of the Road Scholar Institute Network.

Peer-led seminars and workshops are the core activities of Five College Learning in Retirement and are designed to engage the active learner.   Our Extracurricular Programs present opportunities for our members to share activities and interests with other members. Great Decisions, a Foreign Policy Association program, provides a forum open to the public to discuss pressing foreign policy issues with national experts.

Our members are a group of intellectually curious individuals who want to pursue new fields of interest or to revisit interests too long neglected. We are characterized by a willingness to share the knowledge and insights we have gained over lifetimes variously experienced.

From the Web Site Committee


The purpose of this page is to illustrate a number of ways to direct the visitors to various parts of the site:

  • Using the primary menu in the header
  • Using buttons in a cover block
  • Using links in the text in the main content
  • Using the footer menu

There are others (Astra has a lot of menu options, for example), but they would be more useful on second-level cornerstone pages.

In design, this page is closest to Tyll’s Example 2 in this document. In execution, many of the linked pages are far from ready for prime time.
