OLLI at SOU NEWSFLASH
June 26, 2023

OLLI and SOU offices will be closed on Tuesday, July 4th in observance of the Independence Day holiday


Annual Enrollment starts Monday, June 3
OLLI Annual Enrollment opens next week on Monday, July 3. The OLLI office can get rather busy once the lottery period opens, so why wait? Office support volunteers and staff are on hand to help you with registration, resetting your password, and ironing out any other wrinkles you may encounter while logging in and renewing your annual membership.

Important Registration Dates:
  • Jul 3: Annual Enrollment opens
  • Jul 24: Fall term catalog published online
  • Jul 24 – Aug 4: Fall term course request lottery
  • Aug 21: Fall term Open Enrollment registration begins

And remember, the lottery period runs for two weeks so there is no rush to get your requests in right away. All requests submitted by August 4 are entered into the lottery and receive the same treatment.
Join us for the Ashland 4th of July Parade!
Want to stay engaged with your OLLI at SOU friends over the Summer? Show your OLLI pride and join us for the short downhill 4th of July parade walk! We will be walking with the SOU contingent. A flatbed truck will be available for those who chose not to walk. This year's theme is "We Thrive Together," and we will have bright red OLLI t-shirts with a new 30th Anniversary design for all participants.

Email OLLI volunteer Paul Christy at ptc97504@gmail.com for more information on how to participate in OLLI’s parade contingent!

OLLI Members who have RSVP’d to these Newsflash postings can pick up their OLLI parade t-shirts this week in the Campbell Center courtyard:

  • Today: Monday, June 26 2023 from 10am to noon
  • Tomorrow: Tuesday June 27 2023 from 9:30am to 11:30am.

T-shirts are first-come, first-served, as some sizes will run out quickly. 

Details about parade meeting time, location, and other details will be provided in the OLLI Newsflash on July 3, 2023 and will be sent by email to OLLI members who have RSVP’d by email.
Printed Catalog Opt-out Now Available
Did you know that Southern Oregon University has been nationally recognized as a leader in sustainability? In the spirit of lots of small changes can add up to make a big difference, OLLI members may now opt-out of receiving the printed course catalog. Members who choose to "go green" can use OLLI's online course catalog to renew their membership, see what courses are being offered, and to submit course requests.

If you would like to opt out, simply send the OLLI office an email at olli@sou.edu. Please be sure to include your name, address, and a message that you are opting out of the printed catalog.

Please note: You will only be removed from the catalog mailing list if you request it. You do not need to contact the OLLI office if your household prefers to continue receiving a printed catalog. If your spouse or partner is also an OLLI member and lives at the same address, they will continue to receive a catalog unless they also request to opt-out.

The Fall term catalog is scheduled to be delivered by post mail and available online by Monday, July 24.
