Leadership council and teams update

The whole is more than the sum of its parts, said Aristotle. This well-known phrase accurately describes the Leadership Council and project teams at the University of Richmond’s Osher Lifelong Learning Institute. The educational and social program designed for adults 50 and better would not be possible without the generosity and contributions of the volunteer members that comprise the Council and teams and committees that bring classes, activities, community projects and special events to the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute and its membership.
As the Institute looks ahead to its tenth year at the University of Richmond in 2014, it is only fitting to recognize and applaud these special volunteers.
