Hard to believe it has been 30 years, but it is so rewarding to know that great learning
opportunities have been achieved! Who would have guessed that today’s OLLI would be
the result when a small ad was placed in the Beaufort/HHI newspapers announcing that
anyone interested in forming a volunteer-led, volunteer-run life-long learning program at
USCB was invited to an information session? Only a few programs existed in the country
and one was at Duke. Their director and one member came to help. Would anyone show?
Yes, over 200 people came with such enthusiasm that before the meeting ended, we had a
steering committee and a significant group of volunteers. We knew that a strong curriculum
was paramount, and many wanted to plan our first classes, but people were also ready to
volunteer as instructors, office support, and any other needed job. The first name was the
Creative Retirement Center, later changed to The Learning Exchange, and finally to OLLI when
we were selected to become a member of the Osher family. The name may have changed but
the mission of a strong life-long learning program has thrived until today. OLLI at USCB is one
of the largest, most active, and successful programs anywhere. My gratitude to the thousands
who over these years have made this celebration possible. Thank you.
- Marge Yanker, Founder of USCB Lifelong Learning
As I reflect on the 10 years as USCB OLLI Director, what resonates most is the foundation that
Marge Yanker and her volunteer team built in 1991. It is this very foundation that allows the
OLLI program to remain steady and flourish, even though a life-altering pandemic. Serving the
lifelong learning community and membership is paramount in all decisions made by staff and
volunteers. A wise OLLI Director once shared, “It starts with the member. If you keep this simple
yet profound philosophy in thought and action, a program remains strong.” USCB OLLI came to
a screeching halt in the middle of an active term with 1831 members and 65 courses remaining
this past Spring term. When Universities across the country transformed into ghost towns, those
wise words shed light on our path forward. With a sense of adventure, a can-do attitude, and
light on the path, we shifted very quickly to a virtual program. Our focus shifted to the member’s
ability to adapt to a virtual platform, most who had not experienced virtual learning. How do we
get membership comfortable on ZOOM? One member at a time. Teach, coach, support. Repeat.
Whatever it takes to support members to stay engaged in OLLI and its strong programming, their
connectivity to each other, and the community, it remains a priority. We provide Zoom instruction
in small groups, and a help phone line with upbeat, patient staff on the other end. For 30 years,
serving the lifelong learning community, one member at a time. Thank you for your membership.
