Several years ago, a Ventura friend introduced me to the Osher (OLLI) program. As a retired librarian, I was embarrassed that I had never heard of it! She sent me a link to the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee in my own city, followed by a link to CSU-CI, & then to the very similar program at CLU FAB. I became completely hooked on Zoom lectures, classes, & courses. During covid quarantine, these programs became a lifeline that gave structure to my day, my week & so many opportunities for education & entertainment. I have signed onto nearly every offering &, particularly, loved the history courses taught by Dr. Parsons & Dr. Gooch, & a host of art, music, literature & science courses. Despite our tuning in from all over the country, the interaction among students & instructors is wonderful, thoughtful, & inspiring. CLU is FABulous! I highly recommend it. Thank you so much for such a wonderful learning opportunity!
