All on-campus and in-person classes and activities have been suspended until further notice. Classes and seminars scheduled for the spring and summer quarters have been moved online and will take place in the form of LIVE remote Zoom meetings, complete with a Question and Answer session with the speaker following each lecture. Our goal is to offer as many classes and opportunities to engage as possible to our members.
For the spring and summer quarters, all Osher classes will be offered online via Zoom. By enrolling in the Monthly Membership ($80) or the Quarterly Membership ($120), you will have access to LIVE remote lectures every week via Zoom. Individual class registration is not required. You will also be able to participate in a number of our seminars and discussion groups as well as Live Music performances. The Online Affiliate Membership ($25 per year) will give you access to the recordings of our lectures from this quarter and those recorded previously, but not our daily live lectures.
You can register on our website or by emailing unex-reg@ucsd.edu.
We would like to provide access to our content to as many people and organizations as possible. To discuss a partnership contact olli@ucsd.edu.
As long as your membership is current, you can come and go as you please and you will not have homework or required reading.
In an effort to accommodate member requests we have created two separate email distribution lists that you will automatically be added to when you become a member. Messages from the Osher-Members Email List will contain only official information directly related to the Osher program (weekly schedules, class changes, registration information, etc). Messages from the Osher-Info Email List will contain information that may be of interest to Osher members, including specific class announcements and reading material, links to selected campus and community events of interest, Osher social events, etc.
