The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Tufts is a member-based adult education program for "older adults," which in our case means retirees and those nearing retirement age. While most of our classes are led by our own members— "seniors teaching seniors"—
we supplement our offerings with study groups led by Tufts grad students and exceptional undergrads, who, in addition to a small honorarium ($20/hour), get valuable classroom experience, an opportunity to develop a course in a subject they're excited about,
and the joy of knowing that everyone who signs up for their class has done so out of genuine interest, not merely to fulfill graduation requirements.
