OLLI
At Loudoun
OLLI at Loudoun is an experiment
designed to determine the level of interest in educational programming
for retirees in Loudoun County. The cost is $50 for one course, $100 for two courses, and $125 for as many Loudoun courses as you would like to take during the winter term.
Who We Are
The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at Mason in Loudoun offers daytime courses, lectures, special events and other
activities during eight-week terms in the spring and fall, a four-week
mid-winter term and a six-week summer program. There are no exams, no
credits, no college degree required or offered and no age threshold.
Making new friends is an important part of the OLLI concept. Social
activities include luncheons and book clubs.
Course leaders are qualified
members of OLLI and others who enjoy sharing their knowledge.
Attracting well-known and knowledgeable persons from Mason, government,
the diplomatic community and private organizations, OLLI is
particularly proud of its volunteer teachers and speakers.
The regular membership fee for OLLI
is $350. For this amount, you can enroll in an unlimited number of
courses at any of OLLI’s three sites, although for a while, Loudoun members will have priority for the Loudoun campus. For a comprehensive look at OLLI,
we encourage you to explore this OLLI web site by using the menu choices on the gold bar above. Welcome to the OLLI
learning community!
OLLI is one of many Osher Lifelong
Learning Institutes affiliated with The Bernard Osher Foundation and is
also a member of the Elderhostel Institute Network of similar
educational organizations in the U.S. and Canada. OLLI is a nonprofit,
