There's so much to do at UMass Boston's OLLI...
- Learn about our variety of programs. From courses to theatre trips to overnight travel, OLLI at UMass offers several opportunities for older adults to engage and connect with their peers.
- Mango Languages. A free subscription to Mango Language is an OLLI membership perk. Learn up to 70 languages on your own time. Current OLLI members can request a username and password from the OLLI office.
- Social Groups. OLLI's Shared Interest Groups (SIGs) meet outside the normal OLLI class environment to discuss and enjoy mutual interests and hobbies. Each group is different depending on its focus, and all provide interesting lifelong learning opportunities as well as fun social experiences.
