PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
UT LAMP™ (Learning Activities for Mature People) welcomes all adults with a desire to continue life-long learning in a group setting of their peers. With up to 500 members from every profession and life path, LAMP offers a lively forum where our diverse members can meet to share interests and cultivate new friendships while expanding their knowledge.
UT LAMP™ lectures and seminars are presented during three, 6-week terms in the fall, winter and spring. Lectures, followed by a moderated Q&A session, are presented on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings. Members may to choose to attend as many or as few lectures as their interests and schedules allow. LAMP seminars are drawn from a wide variety of subject matter and are offered in six related sessions per term on Tuesday afternoons.
In addition, UT LAMP™ offers our members the opportunity to join book and discussion groups, In-Town Tours and Out-Of-Town Tours, and other social activities throughout the year. LAMP members are also encouraged to donate their talents and time performing executive, administrative and technical activities to ensure our continuing success.

WHERE WE MEET
LAMP sessions are held in the Thompson Conference Center (TCC) on the University of Texas at Austin campus. The TCC is located at Dean Keeton and Red River Streets. Convenient parking is usually available next to the TCC. The entrance to the parking lot is off of Red River Street. Members receive a parking hangtag allowing them free access to the parking lot during lectures and seminars. A cafeteria, “Under the Oaks”, is available at TCC. Members may also choose to bring a “brown bag” lunch and join others there to chat over lunch or, when weather permits, move to the patio on the first floor.
