OLLI 25th Anniversity
Honoring OLLI's Past Presidents
This week we honor Allan Anderson (2017-2018). Allan’s commitment to lifelong learning and special interest in Shakespeare brought him to OLLI. He has been a teacher and Curriculum Committee member. During his term as Council president, OLLI began its fundraising efforts and initial stage of the Campbell Center renovation, focusing on improving site lines, the members' lounge, and technology. OLLI continued to grow, curriculum offerings improved, and courses at the HEC expanded. Allan believes that OLLI provides rich opportunities for lifelong learning and social interaction.
