OLLI Staffing Update

Staff Changes. While OLLI program content is member-generated, our staff is important to the program's smooth operations. The OLLI offices will be adjusting to two personnel changes effective April 25. Anya Neher, our Program Manager, is leaving to address family issues in California. Final candidates for Anya's position are being interviewed this week. In addition, Carol O'Connor's part-time position in Medford as Data & Membership Assistant will be filled by Linda LaGasse, who will also be based in Medford. Carol's departure is due to academic reorganization at SOU with some resulting layoffs. Union employees so affected can fill other jobs based on seniority at SOU. Anya and Carol have each contributed significant improvements to the OLLI program, and we will miss their dedication and caring.

Your Help, Please. We appreciate your patience over the next several months as our new employees come up to speed, and Pam Christy and Christina Patton-Cattolico shoulder a greater burden on top of their already heavy loads. If at all possible, consult the OLLI website for any needs that can be addressed that way. 
Spring Reminders and Announcements

 

Annual Fund Drive. Member donations are vital to attaining the revenues needed to fund OLLI operations. Please respond to the OLLI Annual Fund Drive appeal that you recently received in the mail, or use this form to provide your gift. You may also donate from between $10 to $250 through the OLLI website after signing in.

 

Course Drops/Adds: You can still add courses that are starting later in the term. Please drop any courses that you will not attend by emailing olli@sou.edu with "Drop" in the subject line so that other members can fill the seat you're vacating.
