OLLI Winter Classes are a unique experience in that they take place over four consecutive days in January: Tuesday - Friday, January 5 - 8, 2016.

This structure allows the classes to really delve into their topics with slightly longer class periods and the ability to build upon the freshly learned lessons throughout the week.  

Not to mention, there is a strengthened sense of camaraderie that comes with staying cozy together in the Student Center all week while the cold weather blows on outside.

 

If you are thinking about giving it a try, now is a great time to register!  There are plenty

 of spaces left in most classes, but below are a few titles to pique your interest!
