Halladey is charged with growing the institute through instructor recruitment, new program development and fostering conviviality and respect among OLLI members. "Sandra Halladey brings tremendous skills, energy, and tenacity to the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute," said Paul Sherwin, dean of the College of Liberal & Creative Arts. "Through her fervent advocacy for education, her creativity in devising solutions and her knowledge of the University, opportunities for lifelong learning are poised to expand and become more interesting in the years to come." With a successful track record at SF State in alumni relations, fundraising and audience development, Halladey also has 20 years of experience in educational leadership, membership growth and media advocacy. A founder of the San Francisco chapter of Parents for Public Schools, she is involved with public education and arts education activism. Halladey replaces Debra Varner, who retired after five and a half years as OLLI director.
