OLLI (formerly FULIR) History

When OLLI began in 1993, we had sixty-two members and offered seven courses.  It was then named Furman University Learning in Retirement (FULIR.)   We now offer around 90 classes per term and enrollment grows every term.  In the winter of 2009, enrollment was 671 members. 

Each term more people in the  Greenville community are enjoying the opportunity to meet new friends while pursuing shared intellectual interests.  Who are these interested people?  They are members of OLLI and they will tell you their lives are indeed "fuller" because of  the program's varied offerings.

    Please do not confuse Furman University closings with the Greenville County School closings.
