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!

While you're online, be sure to visit our website www.bradley.edu/continue/olli to register for our programs.

Don't forget -- OLLI has its own YouTube Channel, where you can see video clips of Learning Trips, Classes, and Study Groups!

Spirit of Peoria with Dr. Michael Wiant -- June 27, 2009



More than 60 participants marked another OLLI first -- a summer learning trip!

We spent a beautiful summer afternoon cruising along the picturesque Illinois River on the state’s only authentic paddle-wheeler, the Spirit of Peoria.

During the two-hour excursion, which included a full buffet lunch, Dr. Michael Wiant, Dickson Mounds Museum Director, gave an exclusive presentation on the Illinois River.

His fascinating stories about cultural, historical, and geological events helped to illustrate the character of the Illinois River and trace its interaction with the people who have lived along it.
