Advertise Your Business in the Osher Course Catalog
The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at William & Mary is a vibrant program dedicated to adults of all ages who seek opportunities for learning enrichment.
Benefits:
Every fall and spring, the Institute offers over 100 courses in a wide variety of subject areas, one-time lectures, and various activities to its membership. The summer session is featured during the month of June annually and offers over 20 classes and one-time lectures during that time.
Published three times a year -- for our spring, summer, and fall semesters -- the Osher catalog offers a wide variety of engaging courses, one-time lectures, and various activities to adult learners of all ages. The most important benefit of advertising in the catalog is the increased level of exposure it will bring to your business within the local community and beyond. In recent years, the print version of the catalog has reached approximately 2500 households, real estate offices, newcomer organizations, and other local businesses. The digital version of the catalog has an even wider reach from the Osher website at http://www.wm.edu/osher, where it is frequently viewed by Osher’s extensive, active, and dedicated membership base and other potential members.
Unlike monthly publications, the multiple course start-dates and continuous registration over several months ensure a long “shelf life” for the catalog – and your ad. In addition, the catalog is posted on our website and featured intermittently in our monthly e-newsletter, all of which are viewed by many current and potential members.
The benefits of advertising with Osher are far-reaching. The catalog lists courses, special lectures, and activities for each semester and are distributed to local businesses, newcomers’ organizations, and a number of area businesses. Though Osher Institute at William & Mary membership is open to all adults, its primary participants are those over 55, which is the largest demographic in the greater Williamsburg/James City County area.
