OLLI is an organization at Bradley University whose members, age 50 and older, want to keep learning and stay active as they reach and enjoy retirement. One way to do that is to keep learning, and OLLI offers them many options. Participants enjoy a diverse collection of year-round programs including non-credit classes, educational travel, and study groups. The only pre-requisite is that you enjoy learning!
