OLLI at Illinois membership is open to all adults, regardless of previous education or age, with the majority of our members having some connection to East Central Illinois. Membership gives you access to register for courses, study groups, lectures, interest groups, and other programming. (Some programming is free and some has an à la carte style fee structure.)
