For thirty years, the University ofDelaware’s Osher Lifelong LearningInstitute (OLLI) programs have provided vital learning opportunitiesin Kent and Sussex Counties.

“Find broader horizons” was theprogram’s early motto and aptly illustrates the program’s story ofgrowth and impacts in southernDelaware. Originally founded asthe Southern Delaware Academy

of Lifelong Learning (SDALL) in 1989, the program wasmodeled on UD’s Wilmington-based lifelong learning program founded 10 years earlier. The Wilmington programboasted attendees from as far away as Dover, Milford andRehoboth, but by 1988 an enthusiastic 17-member steeringcommittee formed to establish a dedicated program insouthern Delaware. In 1989 with 59 founding members, theSDALL program offered its first courses in Milford, Delaware.

In 1993, the program moved to Lewes, Delaware, beginningits long and productive history in the community. Somehighlights include:

•OLLI’s early Lewes-based locations have included UD’s Virden Center, the Biden Conference Center atCape Henlopen State Park, St. Peter’s Episcopal Churchand the Lewes Public Library.

• Longtime member and instructor Amelie Sloan offeredthe first OLLI pottery class in 1990 and continues as amember today.

• In 2003, the program began its longstanding relationshipwith Cape Henlopen School District, relocating to theLewes School for 10 years. In 2013 and 2014, respectively,the program moved to its current home in the school district’sFred Thomas Building and in Ocean View Town Hall.

OLLI LEWES, OCEAN VIEW AND DOVERThirty years of lifelong learning inKent and Sussex Counties

• The Rehoboth Art League is a longtime, generous OLLI partner, providing classroom studio space formany OLLI art classes.

• In 2010, UD’s lifelong learning programs received a $2 million endowment from the Bernard Osher Foundationand joined the national network of OLLI programs.

•With the founding of UD’s OLLI Dover program, theLewes/Ocean View and Dover programs have forgeda strong partnership. The programs’ combined mem-bership opportunities allow Lewes, Ocean View andDover OLLI members to enroll in unlimited courses at all of UD’s Kent and Sussex County OLLI locations.

• Total OLLI membership in Kent and Sussex Countiesnow exceeds one thousand,with 208 Dover membersand 817 Lewes/Ocean View members.

Dr. Jim Broomall, UD’s longtime associate vice provost forprofessional and continuing studies, has been a committedchampion of UD’s lifelong learning’s programs. “With modest beginnings the University’s Osher programs inKent and Sussex County have grown to over 1,000 memberstoday, with courses now offered in Dover, Lewes, andOcean View to ensure that the Osher experience is accessible to Southern Delaware,” said Broomall. He added,“The program is an exemplar of the University’s traditionof and commitment to the land-grant university model.”

“I am continually inspired and excited to be a part of thisvibrant program,” added Anna Moshier, current managerof UD’s OLLI programs in Kent and Sussex Counties.“Through OLLI members, I am learning to age with graceand dignity, benefiting from the knowledge, ideas and camaraderie shared here at the OLLI program. I look forward to expanding our horizons as we look towardOLLI’s future of continued growth and lifelong learningopportunities in Delaware.”
