We have a tradition of calling our fall kickoff event the “Back to School” Open House. For those of us who enjoyed school, this is a friendly and familiar call. But for some, “back to school” may conjure up a little trepidation!

Never fear. Welcome to learning without pressure, without grades and, in many cases, without homework. Prerequisites apply only when it keeps you from getting in over your head.

No degree? No problem! Prices are low, locations are convenient and the people are friendly. What are you waiting for?

OLLI’s Town Criers: Arrive Early, Meet an AmbassadorTown criers were once employed to make public announcements in the streets or marketplace. Early arrivals to our fall classes will get to meet an OLLI Ambassador, who are our modern town criers and so much more. Ambassadors will be there at the first class meeting to greet you, acknowledge our wonderful volunteers and make any necessary announcements. Have questions about OLLI? Your Ambassador will be able to advise you. OLLI Ambassadors are OLLI-USF leaders who have volunteered to perform these essential functions on our behalf. But get there early, because once your class starts, they will be gone!

SIGs do not take the place of OLLI-USF courses and programs – they complement them! Like everything else at OLLI-USF, all it takes is a member willing to take the lead and find others who share the same interest. Contact the OLLI-USF office to request a set of SIG guidelines and a SIG application. Check the OLLI-USF master calendar for future SIG meeting dates at bit.ly/OLLIcalendar (case sensitive).
