OLLI is having an open house to introduce St. Petersburg audiences to OLLI programming at USF's downtown St. Petersburg campus.

The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at USF (OLLI-USF) is a member-based learning community of adults age 50+ that offers classes, workshops, lectures, events and social networking.

Featuring a keynote presentation by Kerry Kriseman: The Wisdom We Carry in Our Stories - Finding meaning in memory and magic in what we’ve lived

From kitchen tables to hospital rooms, from heartbreak to hope, our lives are layered with stories. In this keynote, Author and Memoir Instructor Kerry Kriseman invites you to reflect on the moments that shaped you and the meaning waiting to be uncovered within them. She shares how sharing your experiences through memoir becomes a powerful tool for meaning-making, healing, and connection, and why your story doesn’t need permission to matter. Kerry will inspire you to honor your voice, whether through writing, art, or the way you choose to live.
