DIRECTOR
It is summer in Texas! There is no better way to beat the heat than to join us for one of our many
intellectually stimulating classes. Over the eight-week summer semester, we have over 73 classes to
choose from taught by 48 different faculty members! To enhance our academic classes, we also have
two special lecture series: OLLI After 5:00 and Lunch and Learn. This summer's OLLI After 5:00
presentations are "Back by Popular Demand." Please find out who these incredible professors are and
what they are teaching on page 21. Our Lunch and Learn Lectures are being taught by UNT's
Chemistry Department in honor of 2019 being the international year of the periodic table! On page 20
you can read all about this special series.
In addition to our classes and lecture series, we have several special events including a chartered
bus trip to the OMNI Theater in Ft. Worth to see Apollo 11: First Steps followed by lunch at local favorite
Joe T. Garcia's, as well as two visits to the UNT Sky Theater's planetarium. For the first time ever, OLLI
at UNT members can participate in a cooking lab where Chef Jodi Duryea will be teaching us how to
make classic French fruit tarts. We are also highlighting our College of Music on July 23rd with three
amazing faculty members who will be teaching about their work within the internationally renowned
college. Agents from Texas AgriLife Extension will be joining us for the day on July 25th to share the
work they are doing throughout our county. UNT Senior Associate Athletic Director Chris Baretta will
be teaching two seminar classes on sports management that will include the opportunity to both tour
venues and attend major league sports events. There is truly something for everyone this summer!
OLLI at UNT's membership has grown incredibly over the past year and half and now boasts
members from 46 different towns in the north Texas region. Because of this growth, we have added
some new class sessions. The Flower Mound Senior Center is now hosting two classes per
week. Members can attend class there on either Monday or Wednesday from 2:30-4:00 pm. Adding an
extra class day was a special request by the highly engaged members from the Flower Mound Seniors
in Motion. Another change that is taking place this summer is OLLI at UNT's move from the UNT New
College at Frisco to the Frisco Senior Center. This beautiful new location is a great fit for our program
and we know you will enjoy the classes they are hosting. I encourage you to try out classes at all five of
our locations. Keep in mind, our UNT Denton location located at 1716 Scripture Street has a member
lounge where you can drop in anytime between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday, to have
a cup of coffee, mingle with your peers or take a book from our free member library. Our staff offices
are located there as well and it always brightens our day to visit with members.
This will be a summer to remember for OLLI at UNT and I am glad you are a part of it!
Together for the love of learning,Director, OLLI at UNT
