The OLLI program is offered at California State University, Fresno. It is supported by the Bernard Osher Foundation and created exclusively for adults age 50+ eager to pursue erudition. There are no entrance requirements, grades nor exams; so “students” can learn in a relaxed atmosphere. The OLLI offers General Sessions and Short Courses that are open to members only, along with Field Trips that are open to members and non-members.
The program offers a wide range of classes on various topics. This Spring, you could attend General Sessions on “How the Arts and Humanities Shape and Transform our World”, “Q & A with Fresno State President Joseph Castro” or “Change in the Eye Over Time”. Short Courses will include “What are the Big Ideas in Biology?”, “Writing your Memoirs” and “The Philosophy of Happiness”. If you wish to take a Field Trip this Spring, the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute could take you to the 2014 Madera Wine & Chocolate Festival, you could visit behind the scenes of a Target department store, or visit Stanford University.
More information is available on the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute website. Ask for their Spring Catalog!
