Invest in Lifelong Learning. Change Lives.
At the University of Dayton’s Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (UDOLLI), we believe that learning never retires.
Every day, we witness the transformational power of curiosity — in the spark of a former professor rediscovering the joy of discussion, in the excitement of a senior engaging with new ideas, and in the determination of adults returning to education after decades away.
UDOLLI isn’t just a program. It’s a community, a mission, and for many, a lifeline.
