The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at URI announced Friday that registration begins on Dec. 27 for its winter semester. OLLI at URI provides classes for adults aged 50 and better. Students can enjoy a variety of classes, simply for the joy of learning – no tests, no grades.

Select from over 50 courses with offerings in literature, history, science, humanities, and current events, as well as a variety of wellness and expressive art offerings. OLLI members also enjoy special interest programs such as a writer’s group, photography group, book club and travel programs.

OLLI courses run from one-time presentations to others that are three to six weeks in length. Most classes run for one and one-half hours, with new classes beginning every week.

A few selections for the upcoming semester include The CIA During the Cold War, Forgotten Songwriters of Tin Pan Alley, Learn to Skate, The Comedy of Monty Python and Chair Yoga.

Become a member of the OLLI community and enjoy learning in a college classroom with new friends having common interests.
