The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (<a href="http://olli.berkeley.edu/">OLLI @Berkeley</a>) offers an ongoing program of six-week courses, a weekly lecture series, and special events that provide opportunities for discussion with visiting lecturers, special guests, and other students.
OLLI provides older adults an intellectual, cultural, and creative connection to the Cal community, as well as a place for Berkeley&rsquo;s distinguished faculty and others to share their research and interests. Discounted fees for Cal alumni.
Join us in attending this free open house (we're not organizing it, just participating as ordinary attendees) introducing this semester's offerings, meet the faculty, staff, and students, and think about your plans to keep on learning and growing as you age.
Doors at 9:30, presentation from 10 'til noon. We may do an informal lunch gathering at noon nearby afterwards if people are interested.
