  • DEMOCRACY discussion with Steve Berardo- Tuesday, April 20, at 11am  There have always been risks to our democracy since the United States was founded in July 1776. Today those risks are greater than ever and multiplying.  We will take a quick look at some of the greater risks we are facing today, and what we as citizens can do to ensure our democracy continues for another 245 years.
  • STEM – YESTERDAY – TODAY discussion with Louise Paquin-Thursday, April 22, at 11am  When we were in high school and college, many of the important concepts used today in the sciences were not known or not thought to be useful.  Need to catch up or fill in the gaps?  Let’s explore together.  

We travelled through a challenging year and now “all hands-on deck” are needed to revitalize OLLI during the next academic year.  Become an OLLI Ambassador today!

As always, if you have questions, concerns, or ideas please call the OLLI office.
