Oregon Governor Kate Brown issued an executive order last Thursday that directed Oregon’s colleges and universities to significantly reduce in-person operations
.
In the interest of public health and in compliance with the Executive Order by Governor Brown,
SOU has moved to remote delivery of services and classes during Spring term. Since this applies to all OLLI activities as well, all Spring term classes listed in the Spring catalog are cancelled.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate these difficult times together.
Please use email (
olli@sou.edu
) and the telephone (541-552-6048) to contact the office for assistance. In the event that you have OLLI business that cannot be handled by telephone or email, you may schedule an appointment to come in. In compliance with the policies of SOU, OLLI staff will be primarily working remotely. Please do not come to the office without prior arrangement.
We do not know of any active cases of the COVID-19 coronavirus reported at Southern Oregon University or in the OLLI community. The university is closely monitoring the global COVID-19 situation daily, and continues to follow the guidance of the CDC, Oregon Health Authority, and Jackson County Public Health.
As before, we recommend that you stay up-to-date with official sources about the virus:
It is our hope to provide some online courses to our members this Spring. We are surveying OLLI's wonderful instructors to see if any of their courses can be offered in this manner. OLLIs nationwide are also pooling their resources of recorded lectures and courses in order that other OLLIs can offer their members a menu of online learning opportunities. Additionally, we are working with OLLI's leadership to develop additional means of keeping OLLI members engaged and connected while we are physically separated. Please stay tuned for details. We will provide an update as soon as the information becomes available.
