Thank you from Osher Lifelong Learning Institute
The OLLI 2023 fall semester ran vigorously from September through November. It has been a successful three months of active learning and relishing the company of our fellow OLLI members.
There were 44 in-person classes in Brookings, 58 in Sioux Falls, 27 in Vermillion and 30 classes on Zoom. OLLI members were able to take as many classes as they wanted and the vast amount of choices made it hard to decide.
None of these classes could have been offered and enjoyed without the many individuals and businesses that gave of themselves, their time and their resources to make it happen. It takes a multitude of helpful hands to produce a full semester of classes, tours and unlimited fun.
The Brookings OLLI Curriculum Committee would like to deeply thank the following for ensuring the OLLI members experienced a memorable fall semester.
