(WHNT) — John Mason, the President of the Board for the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at UAH joins News 19’s Steve Johnson on this week’s Leadership Perspectives to discuss the Olli program.

In the interview, Mason explains not only what the program is, but why everyone over 50 should consider joining it! He also discusses why learning isn’t the only benefit and maybe isn’t even the most important one.
