OLLI for All
At OLLI, we believe that lifelong learning is for everyone. We are dedicated to making OLLI memberships, courses, and activities available, affordable, and accessible to anyone 50 and over who wishes to participate.
The opportunity to join a welcoming community of peers and participate in courses and other learning activities is perhaps even more important to those in our community whose options are otherwise limited due to financial or other constraints.
If there's anything we can do to make your participation in OLLI programs easier and more enjoyable, be it a full or partial fee waiver, disability-related accommodations or special assistance, please contact Kathleen Holden via email at kpecknol@uiuc.edu or by phone at 217-244-9141. Requests may also be sent via postal mail.
