Lifelong Learning Institute at Immaculata University

Update for July 2016
See Note Below to 2016 Instructors: Change in Date for Instructor Orientation. Now scheduled for Sept 8 at 1pm.

  This memo is intended to update the LLCC membership, with the current status of our new relationship with the  Lifelong Learning Institute at Immaculata University.

Members of the LLCC Board, Committee Chairs and other committee members met with Dean Tekely,  June 28 on the IU campus.   Introductions were made and the Dean then reviewed the status of actions that are being addressed.  It is not the intent of this memo to cover all of the many facets of our new relationship, but the answers to our many questions show that the IU staff is on top of the situation and exceeding our expectations.    More detail will be given at the open house and orientation.     Here are some key dates to put on your calendar:

July 18 - REGISTRATION:   
The Fall Catalog is being finalized and is expected to be on the IU Website by July 8, with mailings to all members shortly thereafter.    We urge all members to go to the website for our Lifelong Learning Institute at Immaculata University and submit your information to make sure you are on the IU mailing list, to receive catalogs and other information.  Click here  for the IU Lifelong Learning Institute Website.   You may register earlier, but IU will not begin to process registrations until July 18.   Your final individual class registrations will be confirmed in writing.  

July 19      OPEN HOUSE
Open  House in the Villa Maria  “Green Room”  10 AM – 1 PM.  You will be asked to RSVP for this event.   Note to Instructors:   A technical orientation for instructors was initially scheduled to follow this open house beginning at 1 PM, but has since been postponed to Sept 8.   (See below). 

July 25   SUMMER MOVIES
IU will continue our summer movie tradition.   Movies will be held on Mondays in Loyola Hall,  Rm 127,  Jul. 25 – Aug. 22.

Sept 8    ORIENTATION
IU orientation for all members and instructors:  10 AM – 1 PM.
IU will be mailing further information on this event, to include on-site registration, issuing IDs, and Parking Permits.  
Orientation for instructors will follow (postponed from July 19).

Sept 12     CLASSES BEGIN. 
At our general membership meetings, following the announcement of our OLLI facility in Exton closing June 30, the overwhelming response was to continue the lifelong learning experience in this area.   This has been accomplished without missing a semester, through a new partnership with Immaculata University and their willingness to launch a new Institute within their university system, on their beautiful campus.    It is a pleasure to be able to report that a very robust Fall Semester has been structured with over 70 courses.   We hope to see you continue your Lifelong Learning experience at our new home.
