Your Guide to OLLI at Bradley
WHAT IS OLLI?
WHO ARE OLLI MEMBERS?
The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Bradley
University is a community of lifelong learners who
come together to explore, connect, and learn. OLLI
offers a welcoming and social environment with
high quality educational experiences on Bradley’s
campus, throughout the Peoria area, online, and
around the world.
OLLI is open to everyone, with programming
designed primarily for adults age 50 and better.
There is no age requirement, and you do not need
to be a Bradley alum to join.
OLLI is a member-driven organization supported
by Bradley University and the Bernard Osher
Foundation. Our programs are shaped by the
interests of our members and made possible
through dedicated volunteers, instructors,
community partners, and Bradley staff.
Our members come from throughout Central
Illinois and beyond with different backgrounds
and interests. What brings us together is a desire
to continue learning, meet new people, stay
engaged, and experience something new.
A quarterly OLLI membership is just $5 and
provides access to program registration
throughout the season.
