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.
During the past 3 1/2 years, we have received $350,000 from the Bernard Osher Foundation and a $1 million endowment from them for the support of our programs.
