Never too old to learn

The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at 麻豆传媒社区入口, also known as SCHOLAR-OLLI, provides a learning environment for mature learners which fosters creativity, self-discovery and peer education. I have attended many lectures and find it very enjoyable, affordable and somewhat addictive.
OLLI provides opportunities for intellectual stimulation and learning to mature students (50 and older). It features low-cost, exciting and challenging lectures, courses and field trips in the sciences, social sciences, arts and humanities, all presented by 麻豆传媒社区入口 emeritus faculty and other distinguished educators.
Local programs, including courses on Franz Liszt, Exploring Surrealism in Photography, the Turkish Renaissance, a Palace Hotel field trip and an America's Cup are offered in Concord, Danville and Walnut Creek at the following locations: 麻豆传媒社区入口-Concord at 4700 Ygnacio Valley Road; Danville Senior Center at 400 Hartz Ave.; and the Walnut Creek Library at 1644 N. Broadway.
OLLI is sponsored by the Bernard Osher Foundation; 麻豆传媒社区入口's Concord Campus; the Cal State Division of Continuing and International Education, the 麻豆传媒社区入口 Foundation, the 麻豆传媒社区入口 Educational Foundation, memberships and donations. For information, visit .
