President Duncan described the ways in which Sierra College continues to meet the challenges of the pandemic. OLLI at Sierra College Members expressed their gratitude for the ways that OLLI helped them to continue to learn, grow, and find community over the last two years. Duncan noted the valuable help OLLI Members provided to the Sierra College Student Food Pantry.
