Join Us!
OLLI is a member-directed organization sponsored by Extended Studies, offering short-term educational experiences for older adults in northern Nevada. OLLI seeks to foster intellectual stimulation, new interests and personal development through academic pursuits, and to provide a community in which to gather, get acquainted and socialize. Most courses and events are held at the Warren Nelson Building, 401 W. Second St., Reno, the University’s off-campus OLLI facility.
Directed by and for its members, OLLI at the University of Nevada, Reno is a diverse community of independent thinkers who develop curriculum, teach classes, organize events, administer programs, establish friendships, guide excursions and much more. OLLI offers a distinctive array of courses and activities for seasoned adults age 50 and over interested in learning for the joy of learning.
We hope you will embrace OLLI’s commitment to lifelong learning and continue to help us grow!
