<strong>OLLI</strong>’s Peer-led (Omnilore) Orientation<br />
The peer-led program of <strong>OLLI</strong> at CSUDH is known as Omnilore.<br />
The study/discussion group is the core of the peer-led program.<br />
Within the group, each member participates by choosing a topic<br />
related to the subject under study, doing research on it and then<br />
presenting the information to the group. Some study/discussion<br />
groups are structured around a book, which all members read<br />
and discuss as part of the meetings. Groups meet for two hours<br />
twice each month, 8 meetings for a total of 16 hours. The exact<br />
time of each class is set by the participants.<br />
Please note that the books listed for each course are only possible<br />
candidates. Do not buy any until the pre-meeting and a decision<br />
on the common reading is made.<br />
Holiday periods are adapted to by individual class voting.<br />
Although the spring orientation dates have passed, you can<br />
prepare for the following trimester by attending orientation meetings<br />
on Thursday, February 23, <strong>2017</strong> or Thursday, March 30<br />
Call (310) 215-1848 for more details and payment information,<br />
