We have switched from the classroom to Zoom. It is terrific. We see mostly the same faces and always new subjects but no commute and no parking to be early for. Zoom is so easy that even I can do it. In many ways OSHER has been one of the most enriching contributions to my retirement life. Join Now!

- Peter Rodman,

The Osher staff and volunteers have done a fantastic job of planning and presenting our spring quarter. I can't tell you how much this has meant to be able to count on this program during the shut down. It has helped make it a lot more pleasant than it might have been, and I thank all of you.

- Jan Curry,

I think Osher volunteers and staff have been just incredibly wonderful. It's one of the things that I look forward to every week along with walks outdoors and seeing my grandkids and a few friends from a social distance. So Osher is in the top three!

- Bonnie Graff,
