 Learning in Retirement in Athens, Georgia

 

Members in class

Are you interested in learning for the fun of it while taking classes with friends? That’s what OLLI@UGA is all about. We are a nonprofit, member-led group. We stimulate minds and forge friendships through continuing education for people in the greater Athens area, age 50 and older.

 

Based on the UGA campus in Athens, Georgia, we were previously known as LIR, Learning in Retirement. Our courses have no prerequisites, no exams, no grades – all you need is a love of learning, the desire to keep your mind active, and an interest in making new friends.

 

OLLI computer class

During a typical year, you’ll find courses on Architecture, Computers, Opera, Facebook, Great Books, Politics, the Paranormal, and much more. To see the complete list of courses and trips we’re offering this term, check out our Complete Course Listing. To view the courses that are still available this term, see our Course Catalog. To see our social activities, be sure to check out our 20 Special Interest Groups—members can participate in any or all of these at no extra charge.

 

We’d love to have you join us! For benefits, fees, and instructions on joining, please see our Join page.

 

If you’re closer to Washington, Georgia than Athens, please contact our affiliate chapter there to learn about their membership plan and curriculum. For more information, see our Washington Chapter page.
