How to get access to hundreds of community classes for $50 a year

What is the Osher program?

Hundreds of classes taught by emeritus faculty with the opportunity to learn and engage with fellow members of your community sounds pretty great, right? Well, the OSHER Lifelong Learning Institute is part of the University of Utah’s Continuing Education and offers all of that and more. And guess what the best part is? All it takes is a signup form and $50!

Lifelong Learning has many different facets

During the month of August, our monthly challenge is #LifelongLearning in partnership with the University of Utah’s Continuing Education program. Studies have shown time and again how important it is to keep learning throughout our lives – whether you are 25 or 105!

If you are “50 or better”

The OSHER program at the University of Utah states, “The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at the University of Utah offers a rich and evolving array of courses, lectures, and special activities, taught by distinguished emeritus faculty, scholars, and community experts. Members from all walks of life bring a lifetime of experience to the classroom and our activities. If you’re age 50 or better, come and join us!”

Have you ever been referred to as age 50 or better? We think that is a pretty great way of looking at life!

We are signing our parents up for the Osher program!

It is obvious that we are not yet 50-years-old and cannot participate in the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute. However, our parents sure can! It was our goal this month to get them signed up as Osher members and to help them to find a class they would like to take.

Being an Osher member is fun and affordable

The Osher Institute makes learning incredibly affordable, fun, and easy. Professors at the Institute always mention how much they enjoy their time with their more seasoned students. 

Here is a peek at some of the upcoming classes:

– History of Flight
– Mindfulness Retreat
– Masterpieces at the Metropolitan Museum of Art
– Intro to Kiln-formed Glass Stringer Plate
– La Caille Wine Tasting & Tour
– Final Cut Pro Basics
– Why You Love Country Music, Even If You Don’t
– Our Genes, Our Future, The Revolution
– Mind Over Matter
– Foraging Wild Foods for Healthy Eating 
– Yoga For All Bodies 

 

A few things that separate the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute is its event schedule. 

They host Lunch & Learn’s that are FREE to Osher members where they can bring a brown bag lunch and a friend and hear lectures on everything from Einstein’s theories to How to Improve Your Landscapes and Planting! 

Special Events 

Another feature of the Osher program at the University of Utah is the Special Events or in common terms, field trips! Sidenote: I remember when the Osher group from the U of U visited Fox13 and watched some of our show live in the studio. They had great questions and it was fun to meet the diverse group of people. 
 
Special events coming up include a tour of the Salt Lake City cemetery (many notable Utahn’s have been buried there) and a visit out to Antelope Island State Park (great for bison watching and sunset views). 
 
Four Osher Special Events are included in the basic $50 membership per term. Now that is a deal! To get registered or help your aunt, uncle, friend, neighbor, or parent get signed up go here. It would be a great birthday present or Christmas gift!
