THE OSHER LIFELONG LEARNING INSTITUTE (OLLI)

the Osher Lifelong Learning institute at the University of Miami was founded in 1984. Previously known as the institute for Retired Professionals, the name was changed upon the awarding of a grant from the Osher Foundation. a department of the division of Continuing and international education, the institute welcomes all members of the community who are 50 years old or better and who consider learning an integral part of life. Membership is open to all those who wish to continue their pursuit of learning, new ideas, and social and cultural opportunities.

the institute’s programs are designed to accommodate a relaxed learning style and make it easy for anyone who may have been away from the formal learning environment for many years. Classes included in this schedule are offered with no tests and in most cases, no homework. Classes are designed to spark your curiosity and to encourage your participation. Classes are structured to fit a flexible schedule.

Our member students include men and women whose backgrounds are varied, and may include the legal and medical professions, teachers, homemakers and volunteers as well as social workers and business owners. in other words, our members are everyday people who are interested in keeping their minds active and engaged.

GUEST POLICY

Bringing guests to class is a great way to introduce OLLi to a potential student and you are encouraged to do so. However,youmustclearthevisitwiththeofficeatleast48hoursbeforearrivingwiththeguesttoensurethatthereisspaceavailableintheclass. Potential members are limited to two complimentary visits where there is space available. Children under the age of 15 are not permitted to attend.

AUdITING PROCEdURES

Many of our UM university professors welcome OLLi students in their classrooms. if you are just starting out with OLLi, you may want to audit only one course. however, you may be ready to audit multiple courses in one semester. Whether it is one course or four courses, auditing is a great benefit of OLLi membership.

an auditor is a person who enrolls as an observer or listener only. the professor will indicate if s/he wants to include you in the classroom interaction. auditing is permitted in most credit lecture courses only when there is space available in the class and OLLi has received written permission from the instructor and clearance from the OLLi director. auditing is not permitted in laboratory, creative writing, or performance courses (where audit status is not appropriate). auditing is not permitted in Law or Medical school classes.

all requests to audit must come through the OLLi office and be approved by the director of OLLi. Complete the audit request form available on our website: continue.miami.edu/osher. You will be notified when you have received permission from the instructor and OLLi to audit the classes you requested. auditing for OLLi members is a privilege granted to us by the University of Miami. abuse of this privilege by any person can jeopardize the benefit for all OLLi students. there is a flat fee for auditing each semester you decide to audit a course.

SixSessions$90

Painting with acrylics can be great fun. Painting is to be enjoyed, not endured. acrylics are easy to use mainly because they are water soluble, and are not encumbered by numerous technical rules, as are oils. acrylics allow the artist to jump in and push the medium to its limits. Come and experience the fun, ease and lack of boundaries this medium and class offers. there will be time in class to work on your projects where you will receive assistance and weekly critiques. For a list of suggested supplies, please contact the OLLi office. You will be painting in the first class.
