Pardon Our Dust During Remodeling of the Office!
Office operations will be located in Room E during the construction of the office space at Campbell Center. Contact via phone and email will not be interrupted. Reminder: the office will be closed Wednesday, November 23 through Friday, November 25 for the Thanksgiving holiday. 

The decision to remodel the office and Room A was made to address several important goals in the member-created OLLI Strategic Plan: 
  • Provide a dedicated desk for OLLI Office Volunteers in order to enhance member services while keeping operational costs low
  • Centralize staff in one area to improve service and efficiency and create a work environment conducive to privacy for communications between members and staff and for retention of good staff
Work is expected to be complete by the time winter term starts.
