The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, has announced its course offerings for the spring 2026 term. The program provides non-credit educational opportunities for adults aged 50 and older, featuring a variety of subjects including history, arts, technology, and wellness. Courses are designed to be engaging and are taught by university faculty and community experts.
Registration for the spring term is now open, with both in-person and online options available to accommodate members. The institute, supported by the Bernard Osher Foundation, emphasizes social connection and intellectual stimulation as key components of its community-focused mission.
Separately, the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program (AHPP) typically runs annual heritage-themed contests for students, such as the "Arkansas Historic Preservation Student Art and Essay Contest." While specific details for a 2026 contest were not immediately verifiable at publication, the AHPP consistently promotes state history education through such initiatives. Interested participants are advised to consult the official AHPP website for the most current announcements and entry guidelines.
