Join a Shared Interest Group

Our Shared Interest Groups offer a smaller, more hands-on experience than traditional OLLI courses. They are an opportunity for OLLI members to meet outside the classroom with those who share a common interest. 

The Osher classes are a highlight of my week! Coming together with this diverse and wonderful group of people is a true joy.
