Lifelong Learning Institutes, (LLI), go by many names and come in many forms, but they share two basic premises:
- Learners create their own college level educational programs.
- Organizational structure distinguishes the Institute as an educational community of older learners.
Institutes represent a growing, vital, national movement. They provide opportunities for intellectual and cultural exploration and development for men and women 50 years of age or better. LLIs are a place where individuals of diverse backgrounds meet to share interests and to develop appreciation and knowledge in new areas.
Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at the University of Dayton (UDLLI) offers you a series of seminars designed to expand knowledge and explore new ideas in an informal, flexible, and non-competitive environment. There are no prerequisites, no exams, no grades, only the opportunity to interact with your contemporaries and meet friends, old and new.
Each seminar is led by a volunteer moderator recruited from the community. Moderators may be retired educators, experts with vocational and/or professional credentials, or those whose avocation has provided them with knowledge they can share with others.
