The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Furman University has announced its slate of summer classes. Conducted for the first time ever via Zoom, the four-week sessions run June 2-26. Registration is available online or by mail.<\/p>\n
Fourteen courses, including fitness, religion, history, music, art and more, are available to adults 50 and older, but no adult will be turned away.<\/p>\n
Classes such as Oil Painting, Interesting Characters in History, and Yoga for the Curious meet for an hour and a half to two hours each week for four weeks. The cost for all four weeks per class is $35 except for Guitar III, which is $40.<\/p>\n
OLLI at Furman Director Nancy Kennedy says there\u2019s no better time to try OLLI.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a great time to do something for yourself while you stay at home, and there\u2019s no membership fee for the summer,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
OLLI will host Zoom orientation sessions for members and those interested in taking a class. \u201cOur members have found that Zoom is easier to use than they imagined, and online classes are more engaging than they ever expected,\u201d Kennedy said.<\/p>\n
In addition to the four-week Zoom classes, OLLI is offering five different Friday Bonus One-Day Trips and Events at no charge. The Zoom bonus events also meet for two hours and explore topics like Goats 4 Goodness and Learning About Oils and Vinegars.<\/p>\n
