OLLI @ OSU: LEARNING NEVER RETIRES

We don’t stop learning when we leave school. You might even say that learning is a lifelong endeavor. That’s exactly what the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Oklahoma State University says. It’s all right there in the name. OLLI @ OSU keeps seniors active and social through classes, lectures, workshops, travel opportunities and special events. This member-driven program is designed for adults age 50 or better who are interested in enriching their lives by expanding intellectual experiences. With no tests and no grades, members pursue learning for pure pleasure. “As we get older, learning creates excitement for life and wakes up the mind. You are engaged with the people and the world around you,” said Mona Long, a long-time member and regular OLLI student. OLLI @ OSU offers in-person courses in Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Bartlesville and Stillwater. If you prefer an online option, OLLI provides Zoom classes, reaching students all over the state and beyond Oklahoma’s borders. OLLI @ OSU offers classes in the fall, spring and summer. Most classes are one day a week at either 10 a.m. or 1:30 p.m. and run for as little as 2 weeks and as long as 8 weeks. Single classes are also an option. Volunteer instructors include current and retired OSU faculty, museum and facility directors from across the state, authors, historians, astrophysicists, medical professionals, musicians, artists and other subject-matter experts. All programming is funded through memberships and donations. Memberships are $40 (a la carte annual membership) or $200 (premium annual membership, including unlimited courses).
