Celebrating 20 Years!


The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Bradley University (OLLI) is a group of more than 1,000 individuals, age 50 and over, who learn together through three distinct programs: OLLI Classes, OLLI Learning Trips, and OLLI Study Groups.

Here, members can discuss what they learned, what they enjoyed, and offer suggestions to enhance future program offerings.

Take a look at the photos we're taking, and the discussions we're having as OLLI members.

Whether we're in class, in town, or out of town ... we're on the go, having fun, and constantly learning.


We look forward to reading your comments!

German Dinner -- April 22



Nearly sixty OLLI members were immersed in German heritage during our second annual ethnic dinner on Wednesday, April 22. This year's dinner was held at the Lindenhof, home of the German American Central Society, 7601 N. Harker Drive, Peoria.

During the two-hour special event, OLLI members were treated to a talk by Al Hedemann about Peoria's wealth of German heritage. After the talk, members dined on homemade sauerbraten, red cabbage, spaetzel with gravy, salad, and apple strudel. During and after dinner, J's Accordion Duo entertained the crowd with live music.

OLLI thanks Barbara Binder and Jim McGill of the German American Central Society for a great evening! We appreciate the time they spent answering our questions, as well as the authentic German toasts they provided during the dinner.
