One Day and Upcoming courses. 
Here is your OLLI update for August 30, 2023
Just a reminder, our September courses begin next week.  Yes, really, summer has flown by.  Well, summer didn't exactly 'fly by' – it sauntered lazily, sizzled us with scorching days, and now seems to be lingering like an uninvited guest who won't leave the party. But fear not! Fall is on the horizon, allegedly preparing to bring us cooler days, cozy sweaters, and an excuse to consume an alarming amount of pumpkin-flavored everything. Until then, keep your cool (literally)!

What this means for us here at OLLI at Emory?  We have new courses about to begin with the start of September. But that's not all - we're also thrilled to introduce our exciting October and November Fall long session. There's so much to look forward to with an array of courses and events designed to stimulate your mind and foster a sense of community. From in-depth explorations in literature to joining in with Emory Healthcare professionals about your health and how to use it or loose it! We have it all planned for you.
