Did you know our OLLI was first founded as the Elder Learning Institute (ELI) in 1995? We are excited to celebrate over 30-years of lifelong learning at the University of Minnesota!

Filmmaking after 50? Absolutely! OLLI members joined the UMN Age-Friendly-U community at the Heights Theater for a special screening of the new documentary Silver Screamers. The film features a group of older adults making a horror film in small-town Canada. Film director Sean Cisterna also participated in a wonderful panel discussion afterwards about the project.

OLLI members spent a beautiful fall day traveling through southwestern Minnesota to learn more about the US-Dakota War of 1862. Our first stop was the Traverse des Sioux Treaty Site in St. Peter followed by the Lower Sioux Agency in Morton. Thanks to the knowledgeable volunteers at the Nicollet County Historical Society and John Robertson at Lower Sioux for making the day so enriching and meaningful.

The OLLI fall term kicks off this week. With over 90 courses meeting over the next 7 weeks, we will all be busy learning and getting to know each other. Introduce yourself to other members on the first day of class, and please wear your OLLI name tags (if you don't have one, we will have some at in-person classes). Remember our motto, come for the classes, stay for the community!

OLLI fans, our sister program, The Midlife Academy, is offering a course designed for those who are approaching retirement. Next Chapter Reset helps people navigate this transition, explore whether work in some capacity makes sense, and craft a plan that fits this new life stage. Led by the amazing Courtney Burton, you'll join others at a similar life stage to lay the foundation for an impactful next chapter. Please share!

This fall we welcome back OLLI Scholar Anastasia Micich,a PhD student in the Hubbard School of Journalism and Mass Communication at UMN. Here is what Anastasia has to say abou ther course: "Approximately 3 in 4 American adults have experienced an online scam or attack. This course offers participants the opportunity to learn real strategies to protect themselves in an increasingly technologically complex world, in the friendly and upbeat environment that OLLI provides. I love teaching this course because I get to blend discussion about emerging technologies with hands-on approaches to consumer protection, and bring it to an entirely new generation of enthusiastic students."
