OLLI at UVM

The official page of the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at UVM! Visit us at learn.uvm.edu/olli

Since 2003, Adults 50 and better have enjoyed a diverse offering of intellectually stimulating courses and programs from Newport to Brattleboro as part of a national network of Osher Lifelong Learning Institutes (OLLIs). In 2010, the Bernard Osher foundation granted additional funds to the University of Vermont to establish a new OLLI on the UVM campus. OLLI at UVM provides members with access to the many resources of the University and new opportunities for lifelong learning in Vermont.

🎉 TODAY IS OLLI GIVING DAY! 🎉

✨ An anonymous member has offered to match every donation, dollar for dollar — up to $1,000 — to help us kick off the day!

💛 We are hoping that you will consider making a gift of any size to help sustain the programs you love.

If you’ve taken part in an OLLI program, you know what makes this community special.

🌱 It’s the chance to keep learning
🤝 Meet new people
💬 Stay connected to something meaningful

But what many don’t see is that program fees alone don’t cover the full cost of making OLLI possible.

👉 That’s where our donors come in.

Gifts from members and friends help bridge the gap —
✔️ Keeping programs affordable
✔️ Bringing engaging speakers to communities across Vermont
✔️ Ensuring OLLI can continue to grow and reach more people

💙 Today is about coming together to support that work.

Please consider making a donation today: go.uvm.edu/olligivingday
