Osher Lifelong Learning Institute Faculty Preview

OLLI inspires people age 50 and up to take a fresh look at themselves, the future, their generation and the world of possibilities. This event is a great chance to meet faculty, discuss the best courses to match educational interests, meet members, learn more about OLLI and participate in building a learning community of seasoned adults who take joy in the joy of learning. OLLI’s stimulating and provocative courses, forums and interest groups are designed to challenge and inform as well as to animate creative expression.
