What is unique about OLLI courses?
Lifelong learning institutes across the nation provide courses and programs geared toward older adults and generally offered at a lower cost than traditional university courses. These programs tend to be led by retired or semi-retired professionals or educators who reside in the community (although non-retired guest speakers and presenters sometimes become involved). The curriculum is member-driven with assistance from the university administration. The course format is usually guided discussion, rather than lecture-driven, allowing for the opportunity for lively discussion.
