welcome to OLLI

Welcome to the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute @ Furman!

Spring is here. Well, almost here anyway, and we are glad you are a part of OLLI. There are so many exciting and fun opportunities this term that I am glad I don’t have to make the choice of which classes to take! I know you will enjoy your OLLI experience no matter which courses you take or bonus trips you experience. OLLI is so much more than just coming to class. It is meeting people your age that share your passions and interests. It’s not only getting on a schedule and learning but also laughing with new friends during lunch in the Furman Dining Hall or having a great conversation after class.

Furman is your alma mater now. You will probably spend more time coming out to enjoy OLLI and all the doors it will open up for you than the college you attended in your youth. Enjoy all this beautiful campus has to offer from the path around the lake to concerts given by faculty and staff. Attend a baseball game or a rugby match, or spend some time in the library. Furman has made such a commitment to our community that you might as well take advantage.

OLLI @ Furman will be a great place for you if you participate. We want more from you than to see your face in class once a week. Stop by the book nook, enjoy a brown bag lunch, take a Friday trip, go to the Greenville Drive game. Learn about our committees, review the new building plans, ask questions—get involved. I promise, you will enjoy the ride.

Welcome to OLLI at Furman. We are so glad you are here.
