The open house is an opportunity to meet OLLI members, instructors and staff as well as learn more about spring semester plans, including courses, bonus lectures, special events and member interest groups. OLLI is open to ages 50 and up.

“We are excited for our upcoming spring semester with over 60 courses, such as ‘Mary, Queen of Scots,’ ‘Mat Pilates for Beginners,’ ‘Inside the Alabama State House,’ and ‘Elder Law’,” said OLLI Program Manager Clay Williams. “There is no doubt there is a class here for everyone.”

Spring semester will also offer an exploration of Alabama’s cranes and caves – but not in the same course – plus a history of cryptology, German stories, and an examination of jealousy through Shakespeare’s “Othello.”

All these and more will be highlighted at the open house.
