OLLI at Vanderbilt has a new logo |
This new design honors that past while pointing toward the future—and we think it captures the heart of who we are: a community of curious minds, lifelong learners and engaged members of OLLI. We hope you’ll love it as much as we do.
As we continue to grow and evolve, we want our visual identity to reflect the dynamic, inclusive and forward-thinking spirit of The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute as well as our host university, Vanderbilt.
The Osher “O” is a branded, recognizable and necessary image of all 124 OLLI’s around the country, including the National Resource Center. We are very pleased to reintroduce it at Vanderbilt!

Jenelle Spicer, Tara Hamilton, Bernard Osher and Tracy Stadnick (pictured above) enjoyed the OLLI National Conference with 123 institutes from across the country. The Osher Foundation brings together all OLLI's every 18 months to learn and share together. This was a great experience for new staff and a seasoned volunteer.
