What is the size and scope of the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at the University of Kansas?
Since our inaugural season in the fall of 2004, we will have offered more than 86 courses to more than 2,000 registered participants at 20 venues in Lawrence, Topeka, and Overland Park, Kansas, and Lee’s Summit, Missouri. Four formal partnerships have been developed and successfully sustained with residential retirement communities in Kansas and Missouri. Additional Osher Lifelong Learning sponsorships have been created with museums, art organizations, libraries, a private foundation, higher education institutions, and many other community organizations. The University of Kansas is one of 117 sites in 49 states that have been selected by the Bernard Osher Foundation of San Francisco to become a member of the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute.
