The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at West Virginia University (OLLI at WVU) is a membership organization offering educational opportunities for adults 50 and older.

Classes offered by the nonprofit affiliate of WVU include arts, science, computer classes, history, and health and wellness. All classes are taught by volunteers.

While some of those volunteer teachers are professors or teachers at their day jobs, it’s not a requirement to teach a class at OLLI.

For more information, call the OLLI at WVU office at 304-293-1793 or visit www.olliatwvu.org.
