Conversations with Bradley Students during Class Breaks

During OLLI Class breaks this Fall, you may be approached by Bradley University
Communications students who are interested in having a casual conversation.

They are working on developing their skills in communication and audience  understanding by engaging in real-life, one-on-one dialogue.

Thanks for supporting their efforts!

Video: Demonization of Cholesterol

OLLI Class instructor Dr. Roger Perkins has taught us in past classes about cholesterol and health.  He would like to share the research with more OLLI members through a video that summarizes his class content.

The following video features Dr. David Diamond, professor of Psychology and Molecular Pharmacology and Physiology at the University of South Florida, as he discusses the true, research-based relationship between cholesterol, saturated fats, and heart disease.
