Your OLLI at DU on the DU Campus Site Manager

Add content

The Monday Afternoon "on Campus" Speaker sessions (earlier it was on Tuesday mornings) have been extremely popular; both our in-person presentations (pre-pandemic) and our six terms of online webinars.  Our speakers have presented topics which are engaging, thought-provoking, and at times just FUN. Although we can't meet in person on the DU campus yet, the Monday Afternoon on Campus Speaker Webinars" are so popular we are continuing them virtually during our Fall 2022 term.

And, if you have heard a speaker and would like to share their information with the On-Campus Site Manager, Maria Elena Garcia, we are always looking for engaging topics for future terms (mariaelena.garcia@du.edu )

                                                                              "Jim has so much experience and presence based on his own passion and empathy. He especially resonates with his personal experiences of Irish Immigration."

She is a  true professional”.
