Osher Lifelong Learning Institute with Sierra College

At Sonrisa Senior Living, we believe learning is a lifelong journey — one that inspires curiosity, fosters personal growth, and brings people together. That is why we are proud to partner with the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at Sierra College, bringing enriching educational experiences directly to our community.

Through this unique partnership, residents enjoy monthly on-campus courses taught by Sierra College professors in our Independent Living Theater. Each class invites participants to explore thought-provoking topics, from history, literature, and science to current events, the arts, and wellness. Designed specifically for older adults, these interactive sessions encourage open dialogue and intellectual engagement in a welcoming environment.

By bringing the college experience to Sonrisa Senior Living, we make it simple and convenient for residents to pursue new interests and connect with fellow learners without needing to leave campus. Whether attending one class or becoming a regular participant, residents can engage their minds, spark new passions, and enjoy the many benefits of lifelong learning.

Our partnership with OLLI at Sierra College is one of the many ways Sonrisa Senior Living supports a vibrant, intellectually enriching lifestyle for all who call our community home.
