Webster defines eclectics as “selecting what appears best in various doctrines, methods or styles.” That’s us—the best of everything. In each class we learn about a different topic from an expert in their field. This potpourri could include prominent lawyers, astronauts, actors, museum curators, newspaper columnists, professors or local authorities on topics drawn from current news. Each topic and speaker’s name will be published well in advance of the actual presentation in the weekly OLLI newsletters and in the Shapiro lobby. Come join us to explore a great variety of topics with an impressive array of speakers.
