For more than 30 years, OLLI has offered noncredit courses with no tests, no grades, and no homework, focusing purely on the joy of learning. Courses are available in person, live on Zoom, and recorded to view anytime online from anywhere. Classes and events are available in Omaha and Lincoln.

Staff and volunteers will be available to answer questions about membership, courses, interest groups, events and travel. Attendees can register for membership and pick up a fall term one catalog at the event.
OLLI offers year-round programming divided into five six-week terms: two in the fall, and one each in winter, spring and summer.
