The University of Oklahoma has proudly supported adult learners for nearly 30 years, beginning with travel-study programs and Elderhostel courses. What started as Senior Adult Services (SAS) has grown into today’s OLLI at OU—the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute.
Thanks to generous support from the Bernard Osher Foundation, OLLI became part of a nationwide network in 2006 and an endowed institute in 2010. Today, it continues to offer engaging programs led by university faculty and community experts for lifelong learners across Oklahoma.
We’re grateful to everyone who helped build this community and are excited to welcome you to it. Come explore, learn, and share your ideas with us—your journey is just getting started!
