Who Are OLLI Members?
We are 1,000+ people in the Peoria area and

What is OLLI?
The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI)
is a program of Bradley University9s Division
of Continuing Education and Professional
Development, and is strongly supported by Bradley
as a standard of excellence in lifelong learning.
OLLI is an endowed program of the Bernard Osher
Foundation which seeks to improve the quality of
life through its support of education and the arts.
OLLI offers many options to explore,
connect, and learn:
Classes meet at Bradley University on
Wednesdays in April and October, and Zoom
classes are also available in January and February.
Classes cover a wide range of topics including
science, technology, arts, literature, environment,
history, social/political issues, philosophy,
community awareness, and more.
Originals are exclusive talks from the community
and beyond. These compelling programs highlight
a variety of people, places, and issues.
Study Groups meet off-campus at
locations around the area, offer an array of new
choices each quarter, and are a great opportunity
to investigate topics in a small group setting.
Learning Trips offer behind-the-scenes looks at
places and spaces in the Peoria area.
OLLI Online programs are run via Zoom and offer
many unique presentations.
Traveling Braves lets our members explore the
world. From Italy and Iceland to Croatia and the
Grand Canyon, we are ready to go.
