They say a picture is worth a thousand words…

This one tells a beautiful story of connection and lifelong learning.
It was a true full-circle moment when our very own Bill Werndl was reintroduced to his college professor—now fellow OLLI instructor—Joe Romano.

When Program Director Natasha Brame mentioned Joe’s name, Bill paused and then beamed:

“Joe passed me in college!”

Decades later, student and professor are teaching side-by-side at OLLI at Widener University. 💙💛

This is what OLLI is all about:
✨ Friendships that span decades
✨ Surprising connections across time
✨ Joyful moments of learning at every age

Classes begin TOMORROW!
Don’t miss your chance to be part of a community where learning leads to lasting memories.
