Welcome to OLLI at ASU | Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at ASU was established in the 1999-2000 ASU school year. We believe that learning doesn’t ever stop—it continues to grow and evolve. Our mission is to serve lifelong learners connected through curiosity, conversation, and community. We provide learning experiences where adults can engage in classes, member-driven experiences, campus-based learning opportunities, and community partnerships. No tests or grades - just learning for the joy of it!
OLLI at ASU is part of The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) Network. It is a dynamic consortium of more than 120 lifelong learning institutes dedicated to serving adults aged 50 and better. Funded in part by The Bernard Osher Foundation, each independent Institute is affiliated with a college or university, offering intellectually stimulating, non-credit courses and learning opportunities tailored to meet the diverse interests and needs of their local communities. Since the establishment of the first Institute in 2001, the network has expanded to all 50 states and the District of Columbia, serving more than 300 towns and cities across the nation. Courses, study groups, social events, and educational travel opportunities foster a culture of joy in learning and personal fulfillment without tests or grades.
