Fall 2014 Community Lectures
The "missing" Fall lecture schedule. This may be an obvious point, but what a "member-run" organization means is that takes a member stepping up to run programs. There was a delay in finding such a person to replace the long-serving Special Events Chair Virginia Heenan. As you might imagine, it was an onerous task to produce 27 Ashland lectures and 9 Medford lectures each year single-handedly.
Ashland and Medford schedules now available.The good news is that our very own Sally Klein Collonge, who has transitioned from staff to member, will provide continuity of the lecture series this fall on a reduced schedule. There will be two lectures in Ashland and two in Medford. Click for dates and topics. As Sally expands her committee, the schedule may be increased later in the year. With the tripling of OLLI course offerings since the series began, members are not as reliant on the lectures to augment the curriculum as was the case previously, but the community appreciates these programs.
Registration required. All lectures on both campuses will now require registration. This assures seats for attendees and compliance with maximum room capacity.

Meet the OLLI Staff
OLLI at SOU supports as many as 1,400 members and over 125 instructors with just 2.25 full-time equivalent staff members -- fewer than other OLLI programs of similar size. Just who are these masochists? Click here to find out. Note: three of the four are brand-new in their positions this year. Let's keep them smiling by being as self-sufficient as possible - and thank them for helping to keep our membership cost lower than other OLLIs!
