Honoring OLLI's Past Presidents
|
|
This week we honor Cliff Edwards (2009-2010). With his geology/geophysics background, Cliff taught OLLI students about the oil industry. He led the Council during major transition and rapid growth when OLLI’s membership had to exceed 1000 people to receive a second major Osher Foundation grant. OLLI also teamed up with Science Works. There were no doors on the Science Works theater, so OLLI invested to make that happen. Cliff stresses the unique gift of OLLI teacher-and-adult-student interaction: “There’s always someone in your class who knows more than you.”
