OLLI at UConn is happy to announce our Winter 2025 semester! Join us this January for four weeks of learning in person and online. We're also continuing our hybrid program with a hybrid offering on Friday! With categories ranging from music and history to personal development and literature and writing, we're certain that you'll be able to find something that suits your taste.

Also, join us each Friday during the winter semester from 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM to watch the Netflix docu-series, Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones*. This four-part series investigates the diet, behavior and lifestyles of those living the longest, most vibrant lives. The series travels around the world to unveil the Blue Zones with the highest rates of living centenarians, which include Okinawa, Japan; Sardinia, Italy; Ikaria, Greece; Nicoya, Costa Rica; and Loma Linda, California.

Schedule:

• Friday, January 10, 2025: (S1 E1) The Journey Begins
• Friday, January 17, 2025: (S1 E2) An Unexpected Discovery
• Friday, January 24, 2025: (S1 E3) The End of Blue Zones?
• Friday, January 31, 2025: (S1 E4) The Future of Longevity

Each episode is about 45 minutes. After watching each part of the series, there will be a moderated discussion with Professor Laura Donorfio.

*Please Note: Coffee and snacks will be provided. Additionally, Winter Cafe is free with an Annual Membership. Please make sure to register in advance so we know how many people to expect.

Registration for the winter semester opens on Monday, December 2, 2024 at 9:00 AM. You can review the course lineup, including schedule information and cost, in the Winter 2025 Course Catalog.
