60 years ago today, Jennie Lee set out a bold vision in her University of the Air White Paper that would become The Open University 🎓 From that moment, the idea of a University that welcomes everyone, whatever their background, began to take shape. Since then, millions of life changing journeys have started with the OU and we are just getting started. As we celebrate 60 years of open learning, we remain committed to making education accessible to every community and every stage of life. #OUfamily #TheOpenUniversity #OU60 💙
