OLLI Fall 2009 Courses for Seniors

The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI), billed as Reno's learning-in-retirement organization, is offering an extensive lineup of courses this fall. Through December, members can attend classes that are just fun and those that feature timely topics and serious learning. A short sampling of titles include Basques in the American West, Weird and Wacky: Nevada Legal History, River of Hope: The Truckee River Chronicles, Health, Immunity and Disease #2: Vaccines, etc. Courses have limited enrollment and some require pre-registration.

OLLI is sponsored by Extended Studies at the University of Nevada, Reno. Annual membership is $45 for classes held from August 2009 through August 2010. Enrollment is open and you can join at any time. Financial assistance is available. Most classes are in the Warren Nelson Building, 401 W. Second St., downtown Reno, with some being at UNR's Redfield Campus, 18600 Wedge Parkway, just off the Mt. Rose Highway in south Reno.

For more information, call the OLLI office at (775) 784-8053, or Extended Studies at UNR, (775) 784-4046.
