About
OLLI-UAs program service to its members is the offering of opportunities to attend and participate in a broad range of quality courses offered at the four campuses in the greater Tucson area. Substantial growth in the number of participants since the programs founding in 1989 has resulted in the offering this year of more than 400 courses of varying length presented by more than 200 experienced volunteer Study Group Leaders. These courses were attended by more than 1,400 members who participated for a total of approximately 60,000 attendance hours during 2018/19. OLLI-UAs program service to its members includes the offering of opportunities to engage in volunteer service to the OLLI-UA community. Substantial growth in the number of volunteers has resulted in 500 volunteers giving many hours of their time in 2018/19. These members supported the program by maintaining the facilities, operating the audio-visual equipment, providing refreshments, scheduling classes, and directing and administering the totality of the program. Volunteers report significant satisfaction from contributing to the well-being of the membership, something which is frequently expressed to organization leaders.OLLI-UAs program service to its members also includes the offering of opportunities to engage in a broad and growing spectrum of social activities both on and off the campus. Opportunities for socializing on-campus have grown, as the increasing number of participants is able to arrange their class schedules so that they can meet with friends and acquaintances and even eat lunch together between classes. Opportunities for socializing off-campus have increased as the increasing membership develops alternative social activities. Presently these include OLLI-UA Dines Out, OLLI-UA Jazz nights, Dinners at Home and Theatre Evenings. OLLI-UAs management believes that these social activities not only enhance the OLLI-UA experience for its members but also serve to increase OLLI-UA membership.
