Osher Lifelong Learning Institute

OLLI is the program for you!

Welcome to the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at UConn Waterbury, where adult learners 50 and above come to expand their minds and connect with other seasoned learners. We are proud to offer a community that invigorates the lives of lifelong learners across Connecticut.

OLLI at UConn is about friendship, learning and giving. Classes and activities are held year-round. Whether it’s a local or overnight trip, a get-together for book discussions or favorite films, a committee meeting or a gathering to register for courses, our members are active in and out of class every day of the week.

Your enthusiasm for learning and social engagement brings a new energy to UConn Waterbury. Every year, OLLI becomes more closely integrated with the activities of the campus’ professors and students. Between us, we are developing and pioneering inter-generational connections through classes and activities. In this way and many others, OLLI has sparked countless new friendships, new ways of thinking, and for many, a new outlook on life! As an OLLI member, you'll open the door to endless opportunities for intellectual and social stimulation. Whether you're here solely to take classes or to enjoy the myriad of other OLLI activities, you're in for a treat!
