“Women on Wednesdays” Program

UNCW’s Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) provides educational opportunities for adults in the Cape Fear region. Classes are offered on topics in the humanities, sciences, foreign language, recreation, spirituality and creativity. OLLI sponsors concerts, field trips, and international trips. Twice a year, the Pathways catalog describes current classes… this spring, OLLI added some very special events that were not listed in Pathways, including the upcoming WOW: Women on Wednesdays: April 15 – June 17, 10 am – noon.

WOW will be an intriguing series of ten programs with local guest speakers. They will lead lively discussions on various topics that are relevant to women. The atmosphere will be personal and engaging. The guest speakers are:

April 15 Judy Budd, sales manager, Wilma and Wilmington Business Journal
