OLLI at SOU NEWSFLASH

April 1, 2024

Many OLLI at SOU courses begin this week, with more coming as the term progresses. We are happy to welcome back returning members and extend a warm welcome to our many new members. There are still plenty of open courses to choose if you have time for another. Visit the OLLI online catalog to see what courses are available.

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.

Wondering where to go for an in-person course? Check out our Directions/Parking webpage for Google Maps and parking information. (Class locations are also listed on page 6 of the printed catalog.) Near the Campbell Center in Ashland, parking is free along Frances Ln and in our designated spots at Grace Lutheran Church. Registration is required through SOU to park in Lot 16.

Sign Up for the One Credit Program

To participate, you must be age 65+ and have lived in Oregon for at least 12 months. Take a minute and sign up for the One Credit program. It is not necesssary to list each course in which you are enrolled; just fill out the form once, and the one credit will apply to all of your winter term courses! If you are unable to fill out the online form, give our office a call and we will help: 541-552-6048. We just have to verify your date of birth and residence. Forms are due by Wednesday, April 24.
