OLLI SUMMER SELECTIONS
June 18-July 27, 2024

Five weeks of fun topics, short courses and field trips

Join us this summer to connect with a fun learning community and make new friends at the University of Delaware’s Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI). OLLI programs are hosted throughout Delaware for adults 50+ to take classes, teach, exchange ideas and enjoy the camaraderie of their peers.

Flexible registration!

Choose your OLLI Summer Selections! Many classes meet as one-day special sessions or field trips; other classes meet several days during one week or across all weeks. Classes do not meet the week of July 1, which includes the July 4th holiday.

Register for unlimited access to the full five-week OLLI Summer Selections program for $125, or register for a single week of up to 12 classes for $30. Some field trips and other specific classes may involve an additional fee for site admission or supplies, which will be detailed online.

A full online course listing will be available mid-May; registration takes place May 20-31.
