welcome to OLLI

Welcome to the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute @ Furman!

OLLI means Osher Lifelong Learning Institute. We call ourselves

OLLI @ Furman, short for Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Furman.

A requirement of the $2.2 million grant that we were awarded in

2009 was to rename our program Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at

Furman University (for short: OLLI @ Furman). For 17 years prior, our

name was Furman University Learning in Retirement (FULIR). We were

given $100,000 for two years to assist with operating costs and then

given a $1 million endowment that we have chosen with the Osher’s

blessing to endow our new building. The second million, which will be

given to us after we establish consistent 1000+ members annually, will

be given to endow the program and its interest income can contribute

to the operating costs of the program.

Osher is the shortened version of the Bernard Osher Foundation,

which funds the OLLI institutes at 120 universities and colleges across

the country. Mr and Mrs. Osher are both alive and are very active in

their philanthropic goals. The Osher Foundation also funds alternative

health research and supports arts and education throughout California.

Kali Lightfoot is the executive director of the OLLI National Resource

Center, which is the hub of all OLLIs across the country. Funded

by the Osher Foundation, it is housed at Southern Maine University.

Visit their website to learn more about what OLLIs across the country

are doing.

The Building Committee, under new co-chairs Tony Lancelot and Barbara Leimsieder, will continue to solicit donors for the new OLLI building in the coming year. The committee will aim to raise the remaining funds needed to break ground on the new OLLI building on the Furman campus.

A total of $4.5 million is required to break ground, and so far $2.7 million has been raised. Therefore an additional $1.8 million is needed to start construction.

Plans are being made now to include a ground floor of the building that will house the entire Continuing Education

Department at Furman. As a result, this building will represent to Furman and the community lifelong learning for people ages 3 to 103. From Learning for You, to Bridges, to Undergraduate Evening Studies, to OLLI@ Furman—we will be educating a lifetime of learners.

Have you made your pledge yet? Leave a legacy of learning. Contact Lucy Woodhouse at 294.2997 or Betsy Moseley at 294.3491 for more information.
