University of the PACIFIC

Osher Lifelong Learning Membership

OLLI@Pacific Welcomes you to the Spring 2012 Semester. The program is open to all adults (50+) from the community who enjoy attending and participating in exciting, interesting and educationally stimulating programs. Previous association with the University is not required.

Our goal is to provide our members with a variety of university-level courses and lectures without the pressure of homework, tests or grades- all this in a warm and welcoming atmosphere in which members can associate with like-minded others who share the joy of learning.

We hope you will find programs of interest that you can discuss and debate with fellow members. We welcome you into our family of seekers who desire to keep their minds active and interest stimulated and believe that curiosity never retires.
