Cannon Valley Elder Collegium

A vibrant learning community for people 50+ in southern Minnesota’s Cannon River Valley and beyond.

Retirement is no time to abandon intellectual curiosity. Questions left unanswered during our working years are still there for the asking. Interests that were unattended while we were attending to other things can still be rekindled.

Cannon Valley Elder Collegium offers high quality learning experiences for learners aged 50+, and has done so for nearly 30 years.

The joy of lifelong learning is alive in CVEC.
