OLLI at SOU NEWSFLASH

March 11, 2024

Winter Term ends this Friday, March 15. Thank you to our wonderful volunteer instructors who put their time and talent towards our winter courses!

Course assignments for Spring Term will be sent out Monday, March 18, with Open Enrollment beginning Monday, March 25.

Remember that Open Enrollment is when members can register for any available courses on a first-come, first-served basis.

Our Spring Term Special is still going! Encourage your friends, neighbors, and acquaintances to try OLLI at SOU for only $75. Spring Term runs April 1–June 7.

As a member-driven organization, OLLI at SOU depends on the involvement of members in our governance. Council elections are held in May to choose three new Directors to begin a three-year term in June. If you are interested in adding your name to the ballot, please contact Laura Simonds, Leadership Development and Recruitment Committee (LDRC) member, at [email protected], by Monday, March 18, 2024.

The Online Book Shared Interest Group meets the third Saturday of the month at 3:00 p.m. PT on Zoom. All OLLI members are welcome to join.

Do you have an OLLI tee-shirt hiding in a closet or lying around somewhere? We have several upcoming community events for which our OLLI at SOU member-representatives would wear an OLLI tee-shirt! If you have an OLLI shirt (or two!) you are no longer wearing, please drop it off at the OLLI office. Office hours are Monday–Friday, 9:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m.

Many thanks!
