Here is your update for June 7, 2023. 
Hi to all OLLI supporters reading this week’s newsletter. We love that you’re here.  

Let’s talk about summer.  As a rule, you either love it or you hate it. “It” being the summer heat. There are those who bask in the rays and welcome the high temperature and humidity each year. And, then, there are others who stay indoors to enjoy the cool while keeping the heat at bay. Either way, OLLI has your summer solution, one that keeps the cool factor on high.  

— We can’t help but think that discussing summertime evokes many feelings and memories, one in particular. Here comes the Sun by the Beatles. 

What we especially want to stress here and now, though, is this — our summer short session just started, and we STILL have a lot MORE to offer. You’ll find interesting topics in the upcoming long session, too. Sign-up now, several of our June classes filled to capacity for the in-classroom sections. Once they are full, the registrations close. Don't get left out!

View our summer catalog or view courses online.  One-day course and up-coming course listings.

If you are a current OLLI at Emory member, be on the lookout for another member only newsletter later this week.
I scream you scream, we all scream ice cream!

Join us for this year's, Member Ice Cream Social, on Wednesday, July 26th at 1 p.m. Come hang out with new and old friends while getting a much-needed break. It’s free to our OLLI members, but you must register to attend so we know how many sprinkles and scoops we need!

Music, Media, and The Counterculture 1950-80
Instructor James Pagliasotti is back teaching this July.  Last year he taught What It Was: Growing Up When the Music Mattered.  James is teaching a longer course, Music, media, and the Counterculture 1950-1980.  This class examines music, media, and culture at a time of profound social upheaval. The intersection where they met in post-War America was pivotal, the affect they had on each other was unprecedented and altered them in ways that still impact society today. At its core is a classic struggle between art and commerce, innovation and orthodoxy, freedom, and control. And it's only rock 'n' roll. With a mix of lecture, audio-visual, music, and discussion, we study why it's a story worth remembering and retelling through our personal narrative of the time.  Register here.

Themes In Philosophy 2 - Another Philosophy Buffet
Instructor: David E Smith
Last year, we did Themes in Philosophy 1, a philosophy buffet! We looked at rationality, free will, anti-vaxxing movements, and philosophy of humor. In this series we look at more fascinating themes in philosophy—another philosophy buffet! Topics include epistemology (philosophy of knowledge, one lecture), human rights theory and application (two lectures), philosophy of democracy (two lectures), and religion and politics in America (two lectures). Themes in Philosophy 1 is not a prerequisite.

OLLI Osher Foundation endowment requirements

We've had a few donations this past week. Thank you to those that have donated this fiscal year! You always come through for OLLI, and we’re counting on you again as we get closer to our fiscal year end in August.  We still need approximately 6k in donations with at least 40 members donating. The Osher Foundation wants to see at least 10% of our membership supportive and invested in our OLLI program. You've helped us meet our member numbers for 2023, we just need to hit this last goal. We can always count on you.  Donate here
Ross Friedman is back this July with an On Gratitude course.
The class will be comprised of stories, poems, essays, songs, and videos, most of which will be announced the week before so students can come to class prepared while some of which will be cool surprises.

I’m looking forward to coming back to the podium, and I expect this class to be a pleasing and meander through inspiring and uplifting works.

Talmudic Ethics: Finding Your Way To Good Decisions
Mon 11:00AM - 12:00PM
Jul 17, 2023 to Aug 21, 2023
We all have moments when we are faced with tough ethical decisions and need to pick a course of action that will let us live with ourselves. Traditionally, Jews have looked to the Talmud to help them unravel tangled instincts. The Talmud recognizes that ethics is complex and subtle, and knows that complicated questions cannot be answered with a simple yes or no. The Talmud offers perspectives to help us make sense of life's most wrenching dilemmas. This course tackles ethical issues such as the right to live, the right to die, freedom of expression, and intellectual property. Discover how Judaism offers a moral compass to help us find direction through the labyrinth of life.  Click here to register.
