Celebrate Your Osher Lifelong Learning Institute Journey!

Celebrate Your Osher Lifelong Learning Institute Journey!

At the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at Carnegie Mellon University, each member has a unique story tied to the year they joined—a special moment that begins their journey with us. Our annual reports are a treasure trove of history, showcasing the vibrant tapestry of our members by their class year. 

Did you know? We are proud to have four dedicated members who began their OLLI journey between 1992 and 1995, and an impressive 59 members from the class of 2014 are still actively engaged with us today!

Here's a fun activity for you: Check your Osher membership card to discover the year you joined. Then, reference that year in our latest Annual Report to see how many fellow members share your class! 

Introducing a New Tradition!

We’re excited to launch a new tradition to foster community spirit. Starting today, we invite you to write your class year on your name tag when you come for classes. This simple addition will help us identify fellow classmates, celebrate our long-term members, and warmly welcome newcomers into our OLLI family.

Why participate? 

  • Build Connections: Easily spot others who share your journey.
  • Celebrate Longevity: Showcase the commitment of our long-term members.
  • Welcome New Members: Create an inclusive environment for everyone.

Let’s embrace our collective spirit and enhance our OLLI experience together! Grab your markers, add your class year to your name tag, and start this journey of discovery and connection!
