Seniors ages 50 and older can now gain online access to a popular University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa non-credit program that is proud of its reputation for expanding minds and horizons. The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) has recently expanded its offerings to 40-plus non-credit, college-level courses, workshops, lectures and other learning activities from ‘Oahu to counties statewide, as well as the continental U.S. and Canada, via Internet-based Zoom sessions.
Housed in the College of Social Sciences at UH Mānoa and administered through UH Foundation, OLLI is a member-based community that encourages lifelong learning to engage minds, enrich lives and serve the community.
Topics of courses and workshops range from gardening and films/art, to cultures/history and meditation. Special events include Lunchtime TED Talks and 14 discussions groups on books, movies, politics and more.
Although summer OLLI classes began in June, most ongoing classes can be joined at any point. Visit OLLI for more information or to view the current course catalog (Fall 2020 catalog is anticipated to be posted toward the later part of August).
