Osher Lifelong Learning Institute
The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at the University of Utah offers a rich and evolving array of courses, lectures, and special activities, taught by distinguished emeritus faculty, scholars, and community experts. Members from all walks of life bring a lifetime of experience to the classroom and our activities. If you're aged 50 or better, become a member, and join us!
You Are Cordially Invited!
You are cordially invited to attend our FUN annual open house at Red Butte Garden on Thursday August 7 from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm. This is a true open house, no registration is needed this year, and no Osher membership is required. Invite a friend to introduce them to the magic that is Osher!
Osher fall term instructors will preview their upcoming courses running from September through November. You can meet our outstanding instructors, ask questions, see the course syllabus for over 120 classes, socialize with fellow Osher members, learn about upcoming events and volunteer opportunities, and register in person, if you prefer a delightful live human from our wonderful registration team, instead of online registration. Fall registration will open Tuesday August 5 at 9:00 am.
Coffee, tea, juice, and a light Continental breakfast will be served. And you will be free to enjoy the garden for as long as you’d like. Free parking is available at Red Butte and at our lot at 540 Arapeen Drive. A shuttle bus will run from Arapeen Drive and stop along the way in overflow parking areas to take you directly to the front entrance.
We will be collecting donations of school supplies for children in need at a local school district, thanks to dedicated Osher member and volunteer Connie Reed. Because back-to-school is an exciting new time for all learners, whatever their age. There is always more to learn. Thank you, Connie!
