Spring is around the corner, and so is our next quarter of course offerings! Spring is the perfect time to try something new, and we’ve got a fantastic schedule of classes coming up.

Here’s a glimpse of what’s blooming at KSU OLLI:

OLLI Brown Bag Lunch & Learn Lecture Series: Write a Novel in 30 Minutes! Wait. Write an entire novel in thirty minutes? It’s gotta be AI, right? Artificial Intelligence? Nope. It’s way better than AI because everyone plays a part in the process. Everyone. And the results are hilarious!

Free Hearing Screening: Free hearing screening with Dr. Laurie Nelson, who is the owner of the Marietta Hearing Center. Screenings will take approximately 10 minutes per person. Registration is required due to limited space.

Introduction to AI: This course will provide an overview of the basic concepts behind artificial intelligence (AI) and discuss recent developments in the world of AI. We will also delve into how these systems can be used in everyday life and compare different AI tools and platforms.

Cupboard Cash: Have you collected lots of treasures over the years? Want to know how to value them? Want to know how to dispose of them? This class is a workshop designed to help people downsize their treasures without giving the valuable ones away. We will discuss what is currently selling, how to research the values of specific items and the pros and cons of estate sales.

The Moral Universe of the Novel in Defoe, Dickens, and Joyce: Discussions will focus on traditional interpretations of the novel in relation to how narrative voice, point of view, descriptive scenes (the compelling story), character development, theme, and rhetoric shape the social and moral universe of the novel.
