“OLLI brings so much enrichment to my retirement life!
And I’ve made so many new friends. Learning and laughing make for great times!”
Osher Lifelong Learning
OLLI membership is open to all area residents. There are no educational prerequisites. The organization is committed to reflecting the community and supports diversity of race, ethnicity, religion, gender and ability. The OLLI at FSU member experience is special. Becoming a member of OLLI at FSU means joining a community of lifelong learners who love learning for the sake of learning. Courses, activities, clubs and groups, and travel of all types are custom-designed for people over 50 who are serious about enhancing their knowledge and their lifestyles, socializing, building friendships, and potentially living healthier, longer, more satisfying lives. Opportunities abound for volunteering, building leadership ability and serving both OLLI and the larger community.
Among the factors that make OLLI at FSU stand out from other OLLIs around the country are the facts that our instructors are esteemed professionals, and they are paid stipends to reward their efforts. Unlike many OLLIs, which are peer-taught, OLLI at FSU classes are usually taught by current or retired faculty from FSU, FAMU and Tallahassee Community College. FSU graduate students and community members who have expertise in their field of study are also invited to teach.
RELIVE HISTORY, EXPERIENCE THE ARTS, AND CREATE A NEW PASSION!
OLLI offers three 6-week terms each year—Fall, Spring, and Summer—filled with classes that educate, amuse, and challenge.
Classes are held on campus at the Claude Pepper Center, at FSU PC30A, and at community locations including Allegro Senior Living, Westminster Oaks, Red Hill Village, and the Challenger Learning Center. Many are also available live on Zoom.
Taught by faculty, graduate students, and community experts, our classes cover everything from art and music to science, world history, writing, current events, and language. Come for the classes—stay for the friendships
