OLLI at Auburn presents Fall 2021 Term with a focus on Wild Places in Alabama

The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Auburn University introduces Fall 2021 term with a special focus on the wilderness of Alabama. OLLI will kick-off fall term with an opening event on Sept. 8 with author, journalist, and filmmaker, Michael Ray Taylor. Taylor's talk is sponsored by grants from the Alabama State Council on the Arts and the F. Allen and Louise K. Turner Foundation. The Turner grant is also funding a public Brown Bag series that will examine nature and designated wilderness areas of Alabama through the lenses of history, literature, science, and politics. OLLI classes begin Sept. 13.

In addition to the usual rich variety of not-for-credit classes, this fall OLLI will also offer its members a set of classes focused on the wilderness of our beautiful state including Ancient Life in Alabama, Landscape Photography, and Shinrin Yoku Forest Bathing.
