OLLI at Loudoun is a page that was posted to deal with the special status of the OLLI Loudoun members. With the events of late summer and fall Loudoun members have been brought into the main OLLI organization and this page will have served it's purpose. Until it disappears, it will be used to flag events of particular concern to OLLI Loudoun members.

OLLI-Loudoun's weekly news email to members is written by Ray Beery, head of the Loudoun planning group. Here is his latest issue.

At the OLLI board meeting on August 22, directors voted to extend Executive Director Thom Clement's authority to set OLLI Loudoun status for the next four terms. In effect, the decision opens the way for Loudoun students to become members of OLLI for the next year, starting this fall, by paying a yearly fee of $125. This will change the status of the off-site OLLI Loudoun campus to be the same as the main organization: that of members who can take all the courses they want for a single yearly membership fee. The yearly price for Loudoun students will apply only to courses taught at Loudoun. Single-course pricing will not be available for the fall term.

The OLLI directors rejected a proposal for Loudoun members that would have extended the pricing schedule to permit them also to attend classes at both Loudoun and Reston for a yearly price of $200.

Who We Are

The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at Mason in Loudoun offers daytime courses, lectures, special events and other activities during eight-week terms in the spring and fall, a four-week mid-winter term and a six-week summer program. There are no exams, no credits, no college degree required or offered and no age threshold. Making new friends is an important part of the OLLI concept. Social activities include luncheons and book clubs.

Course leaders are qualified members of OLLI and others who enjoy sharing their knowledge. Attracting well-known and knowledgeable persons from Mason, government, the diplomatic community and private organizations, OLLI is particularly proud of its volunteer teachers and speakers.
