Join us for fun and learning this fall! Dover | Lewes | Ocean View | Wilmington | Online Welcome to the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at the University of Delaware. We are a vibrant community of members age 50 and over who are energized by learning, and fueled by our life experiences. OLLI has a stress-free environment where there are no tests and no homework, just learning for the sheer joy of learning. We expand our intellectual horizons by taking courses, and participating in volunteer opportunities and social activities. With over 300 courses offered this fall, you are sure to find something to excite you, in-person or online via Zoom, or both. As a member-driven organization, we listen to your suggestions. Our new one-fee pricing plan was inspired by member feedback, and provides the opportunity to register for unlimited courses. Now is the time to experiment with new learning opportunities! Why do our members love OLLI so much? They have an opportunity to enjoy their creativity and explore new passions while they stay physically active. OLLI helps them to rediscover the joy of music, art and dance. The number one reason for being a member, however, is always the fun and socialization! They reconnect with old friends and make new ones. Join us this fall, and consider inviting a friend. We are sure you will find your experience very rewarding. Whether you are new or returning, we are very glad to have you here at UD OLLI! Gerri Sanchez, Council Chair, OLLI Wilmington Connie Benko, Council Chair, OLLI Kent/Sussex
