Osher Lifelong Learning Institute
At the University of Utah, we enjoy one of the largest and fastest-growing Osher Institutes in the country, thanks to the generosity of our founders, Bernard and Barbro Osher, who endowed 124 Institutes, one in every state. The Osher program changes lives every day by offering more than continuing education courses. We support a community of curious adults "ages 50 and better" who highly value education and peer-driven learning.
