To help prepare our members attending classes, we've compiled some notes and reminders below.

OLLI Classes will be cancelled only if Bradley University is closed due to severe weather. Please visit Bradley's website (www.bradley.edu) for the latest updates on closings.

On the first day of class, please check in and pick up your name tag at the registration desk on the first floor the Michel Student Center.

Campus parking is widely available for OLLI Winter Classes, and permits are not required. Please feel free to park anywhere on campus.

Our breaks with beverages and snacks are offered on the first floor of the Michel Student Center, adjacent to the atrium. The complimentary buffet lunch will be served upstairs in the ballroom at 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday. For the remainder of the week, lunches can be purchased in the Michel Student Center Marketplace or at restaurants near campus.

It is difficult to adjust room temperatures in the Michel Student Center: Please dress accordingly.

Join us in exploring the personal lives and professional careers of women who have made a significant contribution across various scientific disciplines. We will look at how they asked different questions, used different methods, came up with different explanations for phenomena in the natural world, and transformed forever the scientist's role.

Discussion will focus on the work of psychologist and industrial engineer Lillian Gilbreth; physicist Rosalyn Yalow, who developed radio isotopes in nuclear medicine; geneticist Barbra McClintock, who worked on chromosomal structures in maize; Rachel Carson, marine biologist, environmentalist, and author of Silent Spring; and primatologist Jane Goodall, Dian Fossey, and Birute Gilldakas, who helped us understand human behavior through the study of chimps, gorillas, and orangutans.

Facilitators: Dr. Regina Pope-Ford, Bradley University; Carol Schutz Ferino, OSF St. Francis Medical Center; Dr. Amy Kelly, National Center for Agricultural Utilization Research and Carol May, Retired Sociology Instructor, Illinois Central College.
