How to Register
If you would like to participate in these FREE programs listed above, become an UVM OLLI member.
You become a member when you pay a semester-based membership fee at the same time you register for your OLLI programs. The cost is either $12 or $15 for the spring semester – the fee will get you entrance to either or both short courses.
So if you want to take either of both courses, you will have to become a member and register for course(s):
There is a website for registering, but putting web addresses in these letters often gets them caught in spam-catchers, and thus they never get delivered to you. So: This more cumbersome, but works. Google ‘OLLI UVM’ and then choose ‘campus programs.’ You can then register for either course or both courses, and pay a $12-15 fee (once) for membership, and get the course(s) for free. The courses are on Zoom.
If you need more information, OLLI has a phone number [though it is closed from December 21 to Jan. 1, reopening Jan. 2.] The number is 802 656-8407.
[I have two more letters close to sending-out stage — one on Zbigniew Herbert and the current Israel/Palestine/Gaza situation, one on a poem by the Irish poet Greg Delanty….] [Happy holidays!]
