OLLI - Light the SPARK for Lifelong Learners

Through FSU’s Great Give, members of the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute have the opportunity and the challenge to give back to an organization that is helping shape their todays and their tomorrows.

In the words of one enthusiastic member and generous contributor, “OLLI has been a godsend to me. To say OLLI has afforded me an active and vital lifestyle would be a gross understatement. OLLI is just what a retiree like me needs and wants.” 

OLLI needs the help of all of its members to sustain and build excellence.

One crucial part of this effort is sustaining and building excellence - this year we are raising the stipends for our OLLI instructors so we have the very best.

Member contributions also support lectures throughout the year, give special focus on academic programs, offer events beyond the regular agenda of classes, activities, and travel, and sustaining and building excellence - this fall we are raising the stipends for our OLLI instructors so we have the very best

Have an idea how your contribution could help OLLI? Give us a call at (850) 644-3520.


Hear from OLLI Members

"OLLI has enriched our retirement years in so many ways. We are able to continue learning and explore new areas of interest.

We have stayed connected and created new friendships. We participate in local activities and also travel with friends.

We have a very rich and busy life through OLLI." 

- Harriet Waas, Former OLLI President, Tallahassee
