As we all are learning to transition from our conventional social connections, we are stepping into a new and exciting experience: you may want to check the free Zoom Virtual online training.

If you haven’t tried a Zoom class yet, this week is a good time to start with new offerings now available.

As we enter week six of sheltering in place, I sincerely hope you are all safe, healthy and eager to learn more. Keeping you informed of updates on OLLI Board activities, courses and the preservation of OLLI is paramount to leadership. We're hosting a free weekly get together for OLLI members and forming a group of OLLI volunteers to assist members with Zoom.

Interest in online learning is growing amongst our members as people discover that Zoom is a great way to connect with friends and family.

OLLI board members and staff thank you for your ongoing support during these unusual, challenging and difficult times. Our ingenuity and creativity have risen to new heights. OLLI has been diligently working behind the scenes to deliver our members OLLI courses via distance learning.

We’re encouraged by member response to the videos on our new YouTube channel. Members are clicking-in and watching some of our most engaging courses from the past.

We are excited to announce that our OLLI at UC Davis YouTube channel is now live. There are five different OLLI courses offered for our members' viewing pleasure, featuring a variety of subject areas.

Like the rest of you, since the onset of our shelter-in-place orders, we have certainly practiced a great deal of lifelong learning! We appreciate your patience in this time of sudden adjustment, as well as the messages of support, confidence and encouragement we have received. OLLI is indeed a great community of which to be a part.

While life and routine things have significantly slowed or been drastically modified, our OLLI program has had to do so as well to protect our membership and staff. However, I want you to know that your OLLI Board, Curriculum Committee members, Program Director and staff have been diligently working to keep OLLI viable.

In order to ensure the health and safety of our members, staff and instructors, we have decided to suspend OLLI classes from beginning, March 11.
