UD Osher Lifelong Learning sets open house in Lewes Aug. 7

UD’s Osher Lifelong Learning Institute invites community members to an open house from 10 a.m. to noon, Monday, Aug. 7, at Trinity Faith Christian Center education building, 15516 New Road, Lewes.

Visitors can tour OLLI classrooms, meet volunteers and fellow participants, and pick up a program catalog. In-person registration assistance will be available.

Since volunteer instructors develop and teach OLLI classes each semester, offerings reflect a wide variety of interests and expertise, and provide social opportunities with no exams or grades.

Fall classes start Tuesday, Sept. 5, at OLLI’s Sussex County locations in Lewes, Ocean View and Dover, as well as online. 

In Lewes, offerings include acting, ancient Jewish history, woodworking, geopolitics and Delaware history.

OLLI’s newly revised membership structure consists of one flat membership fee of $260 for the semester, after which members can sign up for unlimited classes and activities at all UD OLLI locations and online. Need-based partial financial assistance is available; for more information, contact the OLLI office at 302-573-4417.

In Delaware and across the country, OLLI is affiliated with and receives partial support from the Bernard Osher Foundation, a philanthropic organization focused on higher education, lifelong learning and the arts.
