OLLI offers a wide variety of educational experiences throughout the year at our main campus in St. Petersburg, multiple locations in Pinellas County and online. Membership is not required to participate except where noted.
Non Credit Classes and Lectures
Our multisession courses and lectures are taught by active/retired faculty and subject matter experts from our lifelong learning community. No tests. No grades. Just the joy of learning!
Shared Interest Groups (SIGs)
Interest groups are led by OLLI members who volunteer to facilitate discussions and/or local experiences for members (only) that have common interests and passions. Our SIGs range from beach and park walks to trivia nights and writers’ groups. Interested in creating a new SIG? Contact our SIG group at ollisigs@eckerd.edu
Opera and Theatre at Eckerd
We run the full season of The Metropolitan Opera: HD Live and a select number of National Theatre Live (encore) presentations in the Dan and Mary Miller Auditorium at Eckerd College in St. Petersburg. Lifelong learners enjoy some of the most creative and talented artists from around the world live or encore HD simulcasts.
Out & About Tours
Unravel the mysteries of Florida and explore its splendor, challenges and accomplishments through a series of out-of-the-classroom experiences.
Study Travel
We partner with educational travel agencies or curate our own overnight, out-of-the-classroom experiences that offer our members unique opportunities.
We partner with the Osher National Resource Center (NRC) at Northwestern University to expand member access, institute collaboration and to ensure the legacy of the Osher Institutes. OsherOnline™ classes are delivered by the Osher NRC and available to OLLI at Eckerd College members.
