The Learning Collaborative aims to share a liberal arts education beyond the walls of Centre College, making learning lifelong and inclusive.  The Learning Collaborative includes courses ranging from humanities courses to science-based courses to skills-based courses and beyond. We welcome the community to learn with us in courses led by experts in their fields. The Learning Collaborative is a demonstration of Centre’s commitment to academic excellence, intellectual curiosity, and lifelong learning.

The conversation will highlight the balance between tradition and innovation, as well as the role of Bourbon in local and global economies. Attendees will gain valuable insights into how policy decisions shape the future of this iconic American spirit.
