About OLLI@CSUDH Membership Only
 Do you have a
mind that's not ready to retire? Then we are definitely for you!
Omnilore is open to all who seek the intellectual stimulation and
challenge of shared inquiry. We have about three hundred participants
taking part in the college-level learning experience (without tests or
grades!). Our self-directed courses meet twice a month (two-hour
sessions) for four months.
Omnilore Membership Benefits:
- Members may enroll in multiple Study/Discussion Groups per
term.
- Members may participate in additional OLLI at CSUDH
activities that include Computer Talks meetings, and a Hiking Club.
- Forum luncheons are open to OLLI members and their guests.
These quarterly luncheons feature a variety of interesting speakers.
(Please note: there is an additional fee for the luncheon).
- Members receive a bimonthly newsletter that presents a
calendar, a member profile, a booklist, and several interesting,
informative articles.
- Upon joining Omnilore, members receive all the same
benefits that come with OLLI at CSUDH membership (see
below). These include: a California State University, Dominguez
Hills (CSUDH) Student ID; use of the CSUDH university library; a CSUDH
student e-mail account; periodic CSUDH Extended Education newsletters,
catalogs, and other publications; and other benefits inherent in
CSUDH student status.
- Members are invited to participate in the OLLI lecture
series at CSUDH taught by University faculty each fall and spring.
- Members receive notifications and updates on CSUDH campus
events including speaker series, department symposia, and cultural
events.
Omnilore Membership Facts:
- The Omnilore membership year runs from September 1 through
August 31. The spring classes start the first week of January, the
summer classes begin the first week of May, and the fall classes
commence the first week of September.
- Omnilore is run by volunteers. A Board of Directors and
Standing Committees keep the organization running smoothly. Members
propose course offerings.
- Members are expected to be active participants in their
Study/Discussion Groups. Giving a presentation in the courses one takes
is a requirement.
- Prior to joining, new members are required to attend a New
Members Orientation Session (see below).
This requirement is necessary in order to fully understand the
organization and to receive tips on "How to Succeed as an Omnilore
Member."
- Prospective members are urged to "sit in" on an Omnilore
class before joining the organization. We want to make sure that we
are the right "fit" for you!
