Owning Old: Becoming As We Age - An Interactive Online Experience

Virtual /Online | Registration opens Sunday, August 16, 2026 2:00 PM

Judith Tavano’s Owning Old class has attracted audiences across Northwest Arkansas; however, not all interested participants are able to attend in person. To increase accessibility, OLLI now offers the class as a 90-minute remote, interactive online experience.

Judith Tavano, longtime OLLI instructor and former University of Arkansas educator, engages participants through an accessible Zoom platform where they can see and hear both the instructor and one another, while participating in discussion and asking questions in a welcoming environment.

The class focuses on empowering older adults by exploring what is positive about aging, what is challenging, what can be changed, and what cannot. Participants will reflect together, share experiences, and engage in thoughtful and lighthearted conversation about the aging journey.

  • This program is being held virtually via Zoom.

    The link to the virtual session will be sent in the class reminder a few days before the class start date.

    Please save the link once you receive it. Multi-session courses will use this same link each week.

Judith Tavano is a retired U of A educator who continues to train and coach emerging leaders. Judith is a charter member of OLLI, presents frequently on aging and crafts, and has volunteered on a number of committees throughout the years. Judith knits, markets collectables, and is often joined on Zoom meetings by her mini labradoodle, Stella Bella. She has been studying generational theory for over 20 years and has a national reputation for helping organizations understand and work with the multiple generations that make up their workforces.
Judith Tavano learned to knit as a child and put it down until at age 30 she decided she wanted to knit and knit right. She took classes for two years, relearned the basics and beyond. Today, 40+ years later, Judith is seldom without a project in the making. Judith believes that knitting is a gift-to-self one stitch at a time.
