The University of Cincinnati offers many opportunities to learn new skills, take up new hobbies, and meet new people—just for fun through Communiversity and the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI).

Communiversity classes are held on weekday evenings and weekends in-person, online, and at venues around Greater Cincinnati, tailored with the adult learner in mind. UC educators, experts, and artisans from the Cincinnati area bring their passion for their topics to the classroom, offering students multiple opportunities to develop, grow, and learn something new! Whether you want to know more about Cincinnati history or pick up a new hands-on skill like painting, Communiversity offers a wide range of topics.
