For over 80 years, LMU Extension has provided transformative professional education for adult and nontraditional learners in Los Angeles and the greater Southland. Generous contributions from alumni, colleagues, stakeholders and friends have been critical to fulfilling this mission.
As we enter the new century, our city, church, and society continue to evolve in significant ways. We believe education is the solution of navigating this changing world, and thus the need for affordable and accessible continuing education is paramount. Individually and collectively, your contributions enable us to provide nontraditional learners with important professional and personal development that shape their skills, inspire their imagination, and set them on a path towards improving their respective communities.
