The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Western Michigan University is thrilled to host its third annual Taste of OLLI. Eager learners aged 50+ are invited to come with one or two non-member friends. This free event offers a unique introduction to the purpose, courses, trips, events, and volunteer opportunities of OLLI.

You will have the opportunity to meet our fall instructors and learn about their courses. There will be chances to visit with OLLI committee members as well as learn about volunteer opportunities, upcoming trips, and events.  And don’t forget – door prizes!

Take the opportunity to give back during Taste of OLLI by participating in a donations collection for our community outreach partner, the Kalamazoo Literacy Council. Check out the list of needed supplies that you can bring to help their students learn and tutors teach.

A continental breakfast of beverages and pastries will be served. To help us plan, please register for this free event!
