  • The mission of OLLI at the University of Rhode Island is to develop and nurture a community of older learners through courses, presentations, tours and events which will enhance their learning, enjoyment, health and well-being. In order to fulfill this mission, all segments of the Olli at URI community – members, faculty and staff — agree to the following standards of behavior:
    • All interactions and communications will be conducted with integrity and respect.
    • Classroom and remote (e.g., via Zoom or WebEx) discussions among and between faculty and members will encourage a positive and respectful exchange of ideas and information.
    • Faculty and members affirm their commitment to a learning philosophy based on tolerance.
    • This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.


We ask you to consider what an enriching experience OLLI is to your life, how it challenges you to keep sharp and engaged, and how these new friendships enliven your days, and make an annual contribution to support the OLLI Annual Fund Drive at URI.
