ReInvent Retirement with AUM OLLI

Research on aging emphasizes the importance of keeping mind and body active as we get older. AUM OLLI provides activities in both areas to help members engage in physical and mental activities.

Classes are offered during three regular terms – Fall, Winter, and Spring – plus a mini-summer term (four sessions in June). The selection of classes includes three categories: discussion/study, active, and do-it-yourself (craft) classes. Many of these selections are repeated every term if the interest dictates: art, book discussions, brain bowl, writing, jewelry making, line dancing, Tai Chi for pain relief, and others.

Winter term classes began January 30, 2023, but there is still time to take advantage of other AUM OLLI benefits: bonus opportunities, lunch presentations, and general benefits. General benefits include:
