- 8-week and 4-week courses offered each fall and spring semester taught by distinguished faculty (both current and emeritus) from the University of Illinois and other colleges and universities in the region, and community members from a wide variety of areas.
- Four (summer, fall, winter, and spring) 6-week study group sessions organized and led or co-led (facilitated) by OLLI members on a wide variety of topics designed to encourage active discussion and engagement. Study groups are held during periods when courses are not in session
- Lectures delivered by U. of I. faculty, community members, and scholars and artists from across the country and around the world. These lectures provide a rich opportunity to discover new subjects in a one-time educational experience.
- Interest Groups led or co-led by OLLI members that enable members to share interests they have with other OLLI members on a regular basis.
- Local and regional tours and trips
- Social events, such as OLLI coffees, gatherings, trivia contests, and the annual banquet, which offer opportunities to strengthen friendships within our lifelong learning community.
