More Opportunities to Learn with Osher Online!

OLLI at CSUCI is excited to announce a new partnership with Osher Online, a program of courses run by the Osher National Resource Center (NRC)!

Osher Online partners with OLLI programs around the country to provide an exciting selection of online courses to supplement and complement each OLLI’s in-house offerings. We are excited to expand our curriculum through this partnership, which will provide you with even more opportunities to engage in enriching courses at different times of the day and connect with members from other OLLIs nationwide. In addition to our Summer Taste OLLI at CSUCI courses, we will be offering 3 six-week Osher Online Zoom courses.
