Spring 2022 Courses

MESSAGE FROM OUR FOUNDING DIRECTOR:

Welcome to the spring session of the Open University of Wellfleet. We have thrived during the pandemic thanks to Zoom. You will see that three of our seven spring courses will be offered on Zoom and one course will be a hybrid (three class sessions on zoom and two in person). Courses meeting in person require that participants must be fully vaccinated and boostered, and their locations will be posted well in advance of the first meeting of the class. We are waiting for room assignments in order to insure that Wellfleet Preservation Hall and the Wellfleet Library will be open, and we will let participants know as soon as we hear.
​
​Thank you for your loyalty and your patience,
           Rhoda Flaxman​
