Thank goodness for OLLI. I love it, it inspires me, and this is where I choose to be. We have a variety of fascinating workshops, we have guest speakers, we have ocassional day trips — all of this is a gathering point, and I depend on it. I also enjoy meeting young students and listening to their stories."

"I love teaching and joined OLLI to fill the void when I retired. OLLI has provided me with the opportunity to teach, to do research, which I love, to make many new friends, and take courses with wonderful workshop leaders. During the height of the COVID-19 lockdown, it truly kept me sane."
