The Montana Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (MOLLI) offers programs that promote the lifelong learning and personal growth of older adults through a diverse collection of non-credit, short courses offered in the fall, winter and spring. We are looking for individuals +55 who are curious about many topics and who love to learn. Our goal is to create an accessible and innovative learning environment so that older adults from all backgrounds and levels of education may pursue learning. It is truly learning for learning's sake, so no exams or grades are given.

MOLLI courses expose learners to Montana's best teachers, including emeritus and current faculty, as well as professionals from the community. Program offerings include lectures, ongoing discussions, short courses, and interest groups covering topics from the humanities, sciences and the arts, as well as community and regional issues. For Spring 2008 course descriptions, dates, times and locations, select the "Spring 2008" link at the left.

We Need Your Help!

MOLLI must meet the 500-member goal established by the Osher Foundation in order to continue receiving annual funding and to become eligible for a major endowment. The Osher Foundation seeks to improve quality of life through the support of lifelong learning institutes such as MOLLI. The Osher Foundation has now funded more than 100 Osher Lifelong Learning Institutes on campuses of colleges and universities from Maine to Hawaii. However, funding for MOLLI is contingent upon membership growth goals.  Members of MOLLI are a vital part of helping to ensure MOLLI remains successful and continues to grow.
