Introducing 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 Spring II OLLI at CSUCI courses, we will be offering 3 Osher Online Zoom courses.
Registration for Spring II opens March 10th at 8:30am!
