Others may take place at a museum, artist's studio, or theater where the resident professional teaches the class.
Some are presentation classes taught by current or retired faculty members from area higher education institutions, community and civic leaders, and independent scholars. Most discussion classes are facilitated by OLLI members who have professional knowledge of, or scholarly interest in, a subject. OLLI offers programs in varying locations around Terre Haute. Many but not all courses are held at Indiana State University. The fall session starts at the beginning of September, the winter term starts at the beginning of January, and the summer term at the beginning of May. OLLI offers lifelong learning experiences throughout the entire year. Our motto is “PRIOR KNOWLEDGE IS NOT REQUIRED WHEN FUTURE KNOWLEDGE IS DESIRED.” WHEN ARE CLASSES HELD? Presentations and Special Events expand the OLLI academic curriculum for adults. WHAT DOES OLLI OFFER?Ĭlasses cover academic subjects in history, music, political science, writing, literature, philosophy, science, religion, global issues, and more. Be it in class, special event trips or luncheons, or at any of the weekly presentations, people gather together to enjoy casual conversation, share opinions, or just to meet new people. No one is a stranger for long at OLLI, because everyone who joins has the same desire to learn in the company of peers, friendships are made easily. There are no tests, no grades, no prerequisites, and all class participation is voluntary. Our members, from diverse backgrounds and professions, share the desire to stay intellectually active and engaged. OLLI members are actively involved in selecting the topics to be explored, and share their expertise and interests while serving as teachers and learners.
