Beyond his role as an instructor, Skip has also been an active participant in various OLLI activities, generously sharing his knowledge and expertise with fellow members. Most recently, he has hosted our OLLI Trivia Nights, and each week, Skip submits at least one brain puzzle posted on the OLLI website. Skip Eisiminger's formative years were characterized by constant relocation due to his father's military service, a circumstance that deeply influenced his life’s trajectory. Inspired by his upbringing, Skip decided to follow in his father's footsteps and joined the army. Because of this experience he met his wife, Ingrid Eisiminger, while stationed in Germany. After his time in the military, Skip's academic pursuits led him to Clemson University, where he was offered a prestigious position as a professor. This opportunity allowed him to cultivate his passion for teaching and share his knowledge with eager young minds. Over the course of an impressive 42- year career at Clemson, Skip left an unforgettable mark on countless students and colleagues alike. In recognition of his remarkable contributions, Skip retired from his teaching career in 2010. Skip's enduring passion for teaching finds new life as he shares his knowledge with fellow learners at OLLI. Driven by a deep desire to impart what he learns, he embraces the absence of tests and grading at OLLI, finding pure delight in the process of education. When asked to capture the essence of OLLI in a single word, Skip fittingly described it as a "sanctuary," highlighting the profound sense of refuge and enrichment that OLLI provides for both instructors and students alike.
