Osher Lifelong Learning Institute
The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at the University of Richmond combines intellectual stimulation and civic engagement with a vibrant community of like-minded students age 50 and better on the campus of the University of Richmond.
Established in 2004 with an endowment from The Bernard Osher Foundation, our membership organization offers an extensive array of courses, workshops, activities and events in the fall, spring and summer semesters.
Our Summer Reading Skills Programs are offered by the School of Professional & Continuing Studies, designed and taught by instructors from the Institute of Reading Development. These single-grade programs teach key reading skills, from phonics and sight words for younger children to comprehension, reading speed, and textbook strategies for older kids, and everything in between.
