Welcome to OLLI at Chico State!
We are a community of lifelong learners aged 50+ who work together to help create and deliver educational, cultural, and social opportunities – without exams or grades! Faculty members, retired teachers, and members simply passionate about a subject they know well enjoy sharing their expertise with others whose life experience and intelligence enrich the exchange of ideas. With three ways to learn – in the classroom, outdoors, and online – OLLI offers a unique way to explore new topics.
You can now Join OLLI for our new membership year!
