The community is invited to register for summer classes at the University of Delaware’s Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI), July 5-27, in-person and online.

Nicknamed “OLLI,” UD’s lifelong learning program is a learning cooperative for adults 50 and over to take and teach classes together with no grades or exams. Summer classes provide an opportunity for new and returning participants to become acquainted with OLLI offerings in an abbreviated semester.

Past OLLI membership or participation is not required, and the 50-plus age guideline is waived for adults of any age to participate in OLLI summer classes.

Most summer classes meet once weekly on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. Examples include:

• New Castle County — birdhouse building, Gandhi and Churchill, orphan train history, Microsoft Excel
• Kent County — Culinary conversation with Longwood Gardens chef Alex Neaton, “Delaware discovery”
• Sussex County — Civil War army horses, English country dance, marine mammals and sea turtles
• Online classes — African American women writers, electric vehicles, “best of rock and soul,” watercolor painting, memoir writing, elder law and estate planning

The OLLI summer registration fee is $95, which includes unlimited enrollment in any combination of in-person and online classes, including all UD OLLI locations in Wilmington, Dover, Ocean View and Lewes. Some course descriptions may list an additional fee for supplies, or other class fee. There is no cost for parking at UD OLLI locations. Free Zoom videoconferencing support is provided to OLLI online course participants.

Plans for approximately 300 fall classes are currently underway, with open house events scheduled for Aug. 7-10.
