About Us

The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at UCSD is an educational and cultural organization for retirees, directed by its members under the administrative auspices of UCSD Extension. Its approximately 600 members annually elect a set of officers and a Council to establish policy, oversee the curriculum and activities, control its financial and budget affairs, and generally maintain the organization.

The Bernard Osher Foundation has given the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at UC San Diego $350,000 plus a $1 million endowment for the support of our programs.
