Join today and become part of our community!

Getting Started...

Thank you for your interest in the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Tufts University.

As of July 1, 2022, University College and Osher Lifelong Learning's website will have completed a system upgrade, and with this comes a new way of purchasing your annual membership. Whether you are a current OLLI member, a past member or this is your first time purchasing a membership, take a minute and watch our tutorial video or click here for more detailed instructions on the new process.

If you are still having trouble or have any questions regarding your membership purchase, please reach out via email to osherLLI@tufts.edu and we will schedule some time to support you. Thank you and we look forward to working with you in the coming Academic Year.

Tufts OLLI is proud to partner with Brookhaven at Lexington. Through our partnership, the annual member fee for our program is covered by Brookhaven. With the migration to our new registration platform, for the 2022 -2023 year, those members who reside at Brookhaven have a slightly different registration process. Please contact our office, osherlli@tufts.edu, for assistance with creating your account in our new registration system.

The Zoom classes have worked out very well. I am a semi social media-friendly user, and found picking up the Zoom easy. Certainly in-person classes are always the best, but the Zoom is a great alternative.

I love virtual classes. My back loves virtual classes. And my ears love virtual classes because I can hear every word of the conversation. Crazily I now prefer them to real life classes.

There are both advantages and disadvantages to the model. Miss the ease of personal communication but can participate from many locations. And no traffic hassles!

All my Zoom classes have worked very well. Particularly with the smaller classes, I think you actually get better participation in class discussion using zoom than you do with in person classes.
