Special Events   

Our New Member Welcome event is for anyone who is new to OLLI at UConn. This is an opportunity to come to the UConn Waterbury campus before in-person classes start. Spend the morning with us and find where your Friday classes are located, where to attend OLLI Cafe, how to get a parking permit, and more. Meet the OLLI Staff, members of Leadership Council, and other OLLI members in advance of the semester. Learn more about who we are, volunteer opportunities, and tour the building. Get all your questions answered before your first day of classes.

Our New Member Welcome is a great way to meet other members so you know a few faces on your first day!

Join us on Friday, February 27, 2026
