The population of the United States is aging. Older generations are increasingly more educated, in better health, and more financially advantaged than previous generations. As a result, these older adults are showing interest in continued educational opportunities. Mini University is a 40 year tradition at Indiana University, taking place on the flagship campus in Bloomington, Indiana, every summer. Using Caffarella's planning model as a framework, this qualitative case study illustrates the success of the program through interviews with the faculty, staff, and learners involved and through the authors’ observations of the program. Recurring themes that contribute to the long-standing success of the program were observed and are shared in this study in order to help other institutions replicate the Mini University model.
