The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Bradley University (OLLI) is an organization of over 1000 Peoria-area residents, from age 50 to 98, who want to stay vital and active as they reach and enjoy retirement. One way to do that is to keep learning, so they participate in the many programs of OLLI that include educational travel, classes, lectures, cinema events, and study groups.
We hosted a group of participants from the OLLI program in October and here’s what they had to say. Thank you for your wonderful comments – we’re excited to have you back again soon!

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving
I wanted to share the feedback from the evaluations our Bradley OLLI members sent in from their learning trip in October. Therefore, I’ve condensed some of the highlights below.
On behalf of the OLLI program at Bradley, I’d like to thank you again
for taking the time to coordinate our learning trip. We really
appreciate your time and effort, and we look forward to working with you again.
