The Adult Learning Institute (ALI), affiliated with the Elderhostel Institute Network, was founded as a forum for retired and semi-retired people to share the joys of learning and friendship. A college or university sponsors each of the more than 260 national institutes in the Network. ALI, at the Orchard Ridge Campus of Oakland Community College, was established in 1991. Currently, it consists of about 200 men and women, ages 55 and older, living in southeast Michigan. The approaching fall 2010 session will be the fortieth term since ALI’s origin. ALI is a member-run organization responsible for its own financial, clerical, and programming functions. While we use facilities generously provided by Oakland Community College at the Orchard Ridge Campus, the College gives no other operational support. ALI’s program is based solely on the efforts of its members. Some serve as course teachers or facilitators, while others run audio-visual equipment, serve on the Hospitality Committee, write letters, prepare material for mailing, develop curriculum, contact potential speakers, and keep membership records and mailing lists. The response of our current members provides timely and creative leadership and assistance. Everyone is encouraged and expected to participate and contribute to our organization. |
