12 Noon
Virtual Meet & Greet via Zoom
For the first time, Rainbow Lifelong Learning Institute will be presenting a 5-week Winter 2021 session. With the pandemic continuing, and our positive experience with online classes this past fall, we can now offer classes during the winter months. No need to commute into Arlington where our in-person classes are held, when roads may be difficult to traverse, and the possibility of “snow days” can hamper conducting the class.
Please join us on Tuesday, January 12th, for our pre-semester Meet & Greet event for this winter session. We’ll be “zoom gathering” at noon time.
For those of you not familiar with the Rainbow community, this is an opportunity for you to hear about us, “Meet” members of the community, and learn about our on-line registration process. For those of you who know us, this will be a chance to connect with those you may not have seen in a while. Instructors for our winter session will be there to “Greet” you and introduce you to the courses they’ll be leading during this five-week session.
We sincerely hope you’ll join us – returning Rainbow folks and new members alike - in this intellectually curious community where we come together to learn, network and enjoy time with others who have similar interests.
Pre-registration is required in order to attend the Meet & Greet. Please email us at RainbowLLIBoston@gmail.com and you’ll receive the Zoom link 2 days before the event.
In response to COVID-19, Rainbow has made the following changes in order to continue our programming in a safe and effective manner:
- During the pandemic we will not hold our courses or the Speakers Series in person. Instead, we have moved them all on-line and conduct them using Zoom. This summer’s Speakers Series via Zoom was very successful and well received by our students.
- The Speakers Series may be held on Tuesdays when classes are not in session. Join our email list to be notified about dates and topics.
- For best performance, we suggest running Zoom as an app on your computer or tablet rather than inside your web browser.
- For information on downloading and using Zoom, please visit them at https://Zoom.us at least one day prior to your first class.
We are using a new on-line registration website to provide detailed information about all our courses.
- Instead of sending us your course registration requests via email, students will use this new website to register on-line.
- The site accepts credit and debit cards, and complies with all payment processing security standards for your safety.
- We were able to maintain our prior tuition rates but are no longer able to accept checks or cash as payment.
- The registration website will send you a confirmation email upon successfully registering for a course. It will follow up with a reminder email containing the course’s Zoom link two days prior to the first class. This link will be valid for the duration of the course.
- If you need to cancel your registration please contact us at RainbowLLIBoston@gmail.com. We’ll issue a refund directly to your credit/debit card minus the processing fees we already paid the vendors.
As always, if you have questions or experience problems please contact us at RainbowLLIBoston@gmail.com
Scholarships are available
Rainbow makes scholarships available to those who would otherwise be unable to afford our courses. To request a scholarship please email us at RainbowLLIBoston@gmail.com
