Osher OnlineTM Courses

We are excited to partner with the Osher National Resource Center to add a new benefit for our members: Osher OnlineTM.

Osher OnlineTM offers high-quality, shared, synchronous courses for members of participating OLLIs, providing a unique chance to learn from experts and connect with peers nationwide.

Osher OnlineTM courses are 6 weeks in length (90 minutes per week) and are produced by the Osher National Resource Center at Northwestern University. Space is limited – don’t delay! These courses are not recorded.

We are grateful to the Bernard Osher Foundation, Northwestern University, and the Osher NRC for their support and hard work in making this happen.
