Classes are held on the main campus at the Tangeman University Center as well as at UC Blue Ash, Adath Israel, the Sycamore Senior Center and elsewhere.

Each week during each quarter, an exciting three hour seminar (WOW) on a special topic is offered at the Sycamore Senior Center. Most days, a one-and-a-half hour ‘Brown Bag’ lunch from 12:30 to 2PM is held at UC Blue Ash.

In 2013, over 1800 students experienced the joy of learning at OLLI. The average age of students that attend OLLI classes is 68 years with 60 percent being women and 95 percent college graduates.
