The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at the University of Michigan was established to encourage adults to continue their learning long after formal schooling is done. The Institute’s popular programs help mature adults to rediscover the piquancy of learning — the joy of discovery and feelings of accomplishment that are unencumbered by tests, grades, or drills.
OLLI's 2020-21 programs are being conducted online using Zoom. Winter/Spring 2021 registration is open. First come, first served registration for events that are not full continues.
The OLLI offices are closed to the public during the pandemic, but you can reach OLLI staff by sending e-mail to olli.info@umich.edu (link sends e-mail) and by calling, 734-998-9351.
30+ years of service to adult learners ages 50+
