About

Why Your Support Matters

The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at LSU invites adults age 50 and over to explore new interests, build meaningful connections, and stay mentally and physically active through the joy of learning. With no tests, grades, nor pressure, OLLI offers engaging, non-credit courses designed purely for enrichment, curiosity, and community. From wellness to arts and culture to hands-on experiences, members are free to learn for the love of learning.

Serving communities across Baton Rouge, Slidell, Covington, New Orleans, St. Francisville, and New Roads, OLLI at LSU is more than a classroom — it’s a community.

Your generous donation helps keep OLLI at LSU accessible and affordable for members by supporting course facilities, instructional supplies, marketing and outreach, and special events that bring learners together. Every gift helps sustain a vibrant learning environment where curiosity stays alive, connections flourish, and lifelong learning continues to enrich lives across Louisiana.
