This past weekend, Temple University hosted its Third Annual Bike Tour, bringing together nearly 300 riders for a day of movement, community and fun.

We’re proud to share that among the participants was our very own OLLI instructor, Mary Lou Dahms!

Mary Lou is a Yoga Alliance-certified RYT-200 instructor and a Goddess Chair Yoga-certified teacher who leads Vinyasa Yoga. With more than 20 years of practice, she continues to inspire others through her dedication to wellness—on and off the mat.

Way to go, Mary Lou! 🌿🚴‍♀️

Lifelong learning doesn’t just happen—it’s built by a community.

At the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at Temple University, members tell us every day how much OLLI has enriched their lives—through engaging courses, new friendships and fresh perspectives.

What many don’t realize is that membership fees and the Osher endowment cover only a portion of what it takes to bring these programs to life. Member support helps us keep fees affordable while continuing to offer the high-quality learning experiences you value.

If OLLI has made a difference in your life, please consider making a gift today. Every contribution strengthens our community and ensures that lifelong learning continues to thrive.
