Founded in 1962 as the Institute for Retired Professionals at the New School for Social Research, LP2 is the oldest Lifelong Peer Learning Group in the nation. It moved to the CUNY Graduate Center in the summer of 2019. LP2 is based on a model of adult continuing education known as peer learning. LP2 members from various backgrounds share the responsibility for designing, teaching, and participating in weekly noncredit study groups that mirror the content and structure of college courses.

These programs serve the growing retired and semi-retired community of the New York Metropolitan Area with the opportunity to keep intellectually engaged and give back to the community. IER also provides scholarships for those LP2 members in need. In addition, in 2020, IER pledged $5,000 to the Graduate Center to establish a fellowship for a doctoral student of high academic merit, who shows exceptional promise in any field, and is completing a dissertation that addresses race relations, human rights, and social justice; or that treats some significant aspect of the African Diaspora, including the culture and history of African Americans.
