OLLI at SOU Phone Bank on SOPBS

"Becoming 80" is about 80-year-olds breaking the stereo-types and living their best lives. Just like our OLLI members do! We hope you'll watch this uplifting program and also see our OLLI volunteers on the phone bank.

Spring 2024 Course Catalog Corrections

As a brief reminder, there are some errors in our printed course catalog:

The films listed in the print catalog are incorrect for Roy Sutton's two classes, "Ten Classic Comedy Films: Part 2" and "Ten Classic Musical Films: Part 2." The corrected descriptions are in our online catalog.
A handful of courses have altered schedules from what is shown in the print catalog.

Please refer to the online catalog for the most up-to-date course information.
