Osher Lifelong Learning Institute
Learn, Connect, and Explore with the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at the UO (OLLI-UO)!

OLLI-UO is dedicated to keeping older adults LEARNING, CONNECTING, and EXPLORING through lectures, courses, study/discussion groups, seminars, field trips, and social events.


Part of a nationwide network of 124 institutes, OLLI-UO in 2026 celebrated its 33rd year in the Eugene/Springfield community and its 23rd year in Bend/Central Oregon. We are also thrilled about an uber-successful year three of a growing cohort in the Portland metro area, with classes meeting at the new University of Oregon Portland campus. 


We are proud of our accomplishments in the past year, but we need you to help strengthen and secure OLLI-UO for many years into the future.  


Help us keep our Ducks in a row by maintaining and expanding our excellent programs and spreading the message that curious minds never need to retire. Thank you for your gift and for your support of OLLI-UO during Ducks Give 2026!
