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, catalogues, 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
session before joining the organization. We want to make sure
that we are the right "fit" for you!

About OLLI at CSUDH Membership Only
When you become a member of Omnilore, you automatically
become a member of the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI)
at California State University Dominguez Hill (CSUDH). However,
it is
possible to become a member of OLLI at CSUDH without becoming a
member of Omnilore.
You'll find the cost and benefits of
OLLI-CSUDH outlined on the
OLLI at CSUDH Membership Information page.
The information on this page includes specific information about becoming an
OLLI at CSUDH member ONLY.
Please note that if you are only a member of OLLI at CSUDH, you do not
have a right to attend Omnilore classes. However, you would have
the right to attend our Omnilore quarterly Forum events.
