OLLI at SOU NEWSFLASH

February 24, 2025

Priority Registration Begins Today!

Priority Registration starts today and ends Friday, March 7. This first phase of registration is a two-week period when you may request and prioritize up to three courses. Priority Registration increases your chances of getting the course(s) you want. The waitlist is now ordered by the date and time that a course was initially processed. Getting priority requests in early only impacts the waitlist, not the computerized lottery. View the Priority Registration Tutorial on our YouTube channel.

Our Spring Term Membership Special, where individuals can join for spring term for just $75, is available now!

Registration Helper Hours

Members can receive peer assistance in choosing priority courses from the online catalog during our Registration Helper Hours. Our Helper Hours will take place in the meeting room of the SOU Campbell Center:

• Monday, February 24, 11 a.m.–1 p.m.
• Tuesday, February 25, 11 a.m.–1 p.m.

Please bring your personal laptop, tablet or smartphone if you have one.

Each month, the OLLI at SOU Volunteer Spotlight puts the focus on our talented and dedicated volunteers in an informal and fun interview. Our February Spotlight interview is with the multitalented, enthusiastic and volunteer extraordinaire Irv Lubliner. Irv’s experience as an OLLI volunteer showcases the joy, pleasure and mutual connections our members can receive by volunteering.



Watch the interview on the OLLI at SOU YouTube Channel.
