Hamlet Panel Discussion

Panelists include Tom Gage, a professor emeritus from Humboldt State University English Department; Suzanne Witucki, who has taught Shakespeare for several years at OLLI; and Earl Showerman, who has researched the Shakespearean canon as a late life inspiration.   Audience participation from OLLI at SOU members and guests from the OLLI chapter at Humbolt State is welcome.

The OLLI Website
New Features, Helpful Tools

OLLI Website There is a new feature on the OLLI website: free and low-cost  events at SOU.   But while you are checking this out, you may notice that there is a wealth of information on the website.  Navigate around and see what you may have been missing.  It will save both you and the office time if you check here first for answers to your questions.  It's the place to go for reminders of key dates, member sign up forms, course related information, how to become an instructor, plus deals on activities sponsored by our partners such as ScienceWorks and Jackson County Library Foundation's Southern Oregon Arts & Lecture (SOAL) series.
