UNLV OLLI Expands Lifelong Learning With Diverse Classes, Community Satellite Locations, and Engaging Instructor Highlights

The OLLI program at UNLV offers nearly 100 classes across various subjects, including art appreciation, game playing, health and wellness, music and theater, technology, and personal development. These classes are available at the main location on Maryland Avenue and nine satellite locations across Las Vegas and Henderson. The program is supported by the Bernard Osher Foundation. Two instructors, Mel Lazarus and Fran Smith, discussed their satellite classes: Mel's "Fabulous 50s" class at the Aliante library in North Las Vegas and Fran's "Famous Art Thefts" class at Carnegie Heights in Henderson. Both emphasized the convenience and social benefits of satellite classes.
