OLLI, an academic program for mature adults, encourages intellectual curiosity, validates individual achievement, utilizes leadership qualities, enhances research opportunities and promotes intergenerational communication between elders and traditional college-aged students.

The heart of the program is the six-week academic session presented each fall and spring semester. From anthropology to zoology, OLLI offers a wide spectrum of courses. Deans, department chairs, new faculty and members of OLLI all contribute by teaching classes.

In addition to academic classes, the program offers noon lectures once a week during fall and spring term, field trips, an art and culture group, a book club, special event celebrations, and the OLLI writers' group which is currently working with members to produce our very first OLLI Anthology.
