Did YOU see it? An article by Marlene Parrish: "Education Opportunities"

Marlene wrote a wonderful piece for the Chatham Village News that highlighted Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at CMU:

For many Villagers, those autumn leaves now drifting by the window mean one thing going back to school. Taking a class. Trying something new. And, truth be told, they mean getting out of the house and having some fun.

If that's you, I suggest you explore the opportunities presented by Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, OLLI for short, on the Carnegie Mellon University Campus.

There's a broad range of courses (year-round!) to spark your interest. Whether you are interested in art, science, history or current events, OLLI offers short-term, non-credit classes, lectures, field trips and special interest groups. Classes are both online or in-person.

Sample classes: Great and Notable Novels, Beginning Bridge, Memoir Writing, Night at the Movies, Poems and Paintings, French Conversation, The Cloud and the QR code, Italian Wines in Depth.

Joining OLLI isn't just about learning facts and skills. The benefits certainly enhance skills, but they also support brain health. Bonus? You will engage with a like-minded community of seniors from all over the city.

Classrooms and lounge are located in Cyert Hall (street level), 5000 Forbes St. at Morewood Ave. Parking is available behind Morewood Gardens, in a parking garage, on side streets or, if you like a walk, at the Carnegie Museum.
