OLLI classes are all about the love of learning. OLLI instructors are a mix of peer teachers, professors from Duke and nearby universities, graduate and postdoctoral students, independent scholars, and community experts. Our courses conform to an arts and sciences curriculum and are planned by a thirty-member curriculum committee, on the basis of member requests, the expertise of instructors, variety, and balance. We offer close to 160 online courses annually including art and architecture, public policy, health and wellness, hands on art, history, literature, and the sciences. OLLI members have a wide range of interests and passions and enjoy attending lectures and performances on campus and online Now that we are online, Duke Alumni are joining from across the world. Some of our members grew up in Durham, but many have moved here from all over the country. We are a learning community of nearly 1600 members. OLLI’s efforts to move programming online received national recognition in The New York Times and Next Avenue. We embrace Duke University’s commitment to community service and lifelong learning through our collaborative work with academic and professional groups, retirement communities, various research projects on aging, and other institutes for learning in retirement. The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Duke seeks to engage the minds, elevate the spirit and foster the wellbeing of our members through a wide range of educational programs and opportunities for volunteer service and social activities.
