Specifically, approximately <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewtrusts.org\/en\/trend\/archive\/spring-2020\/lifelong-learning-will-be-the-new-normal-but-are-we-ready\">10,000 Baby Boomers will turn 65 every day from now until 2030<\/a>. These statistics coupled with research from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/internet\/2016\/03\/22\/lifelong-learning-and-technology\/\">Pew Research Center (2015)<\/a> found 74 percent of adults consider themselves lifelong learners, indicating a growing demand for lifelong educational opportunities. At Butler, we also recognize the tremendous health benefits that lifelong learning opportunities provide like increased longevity, contributions to brain health, increased creativity and purpose, and community connections. We are excited to launch the Butler Lifelong Learning Collaborative as an additional educational model to support the natural human motivation to learn, engage, and grow\u2014at any age.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\t<style>\n\t\t.callout-one-column-two-buttons__wrapper {\n\t\t\t--background-image: url('https:\/\/cdn.butler.edu\/www\/sites\/3\/2023\/05\/08093348\/Lifelong-learning-HERO-1.jpg');\n\t\t}\n\t<\/style>\n\n<section class=\"callout-one-column-two-buttons block-precedence alignfull\" >\n\t<div class=\"callout-one-column-two-buttons__wrapper\">\n\t\t<div class=\"callout-one-column-two-buttons__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"callout-one-column-two-buttons__heading wysiwyg-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\u201cMy passion is teaching.
