Memorial Day: Monday, May 27



SOU and OLLI Offices will be closed and there will be no classes

Calling all Fall Course Proposals!


Fall 2024 course proposals are due this Friday, May 31. Courses can be two to 10 sessions and usually run from 90 to 120 minutes. Remember, you bring the topic and the teaching style: lecture, discussion, activity, or a mix of all three. OLLI students are interested in almost everything. Topics such as hiking, history, spirituality, theater, writing, and physics all draw a crowd. Bring your knowledge and passion to the OLLI at SOU fall catalog. 


Here's a link to the online Fall Course Proposal form.


For more information, email apcoleman2019@gmail.com. OLLI members are coming for the classes and staying for the connections!.
