Osher Lifelong Learning Institute

Dear UCR Osher Members and Friends,

Welcome to the Summer 2025 term at Osher at UCR! I’m excited to kick off a new season of discovery with you and am truly grateful for your ongoing engagement in our vibrant learning community.

Osher at UCR is where curiosity thrives and connection grows. Whether you’re a long-time participant or joining us for the first time, perhaps from another Osher Institute, you help make this community special. Your perspectives, questions, and enthusiasm enrich every class and conversation.

This summer, explore a fresh lineup of courses designed to inspire and challenge.  From art and literature to science, history, and more, there’s something for every interest at Osher. And with both in-person and online options, learning is as flexible as it is engaging.

We continue to prioritize your health and well-being. Thank you for staying informed and mindful of current safety recommendations. 

As Mahatma Gandhi wisely said, “Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.”  Thank you for living—and learning—fully with us.

Warmly,

Johnna Norris

Director, UCR Osher Lifelong Learning Institute
