What is a SIG?
SIGs are another way for OLLI@SCU members to continue lifelong learning beyond the classroom. Meeting regularly, SIGS not only provide new and enriching opportunities to form friendships with other members, but they also provide continuity with the OLLI@SCU program over the summer break in the class schedule. A SIG is formed by a nucleus of people with a shared interest in the same subject, and who are willing to participate as active, rather than as passive, learners. Shared Interest Groups are independent and self-directed, with members deciding where and when they will meet and how the group will function.
How Do I Join a SIG?
1. SIGs are one of the benefits of your OLLI@SCU membership. Make sure your membership is up to date.
2. Go to the individual SIG home page to find the contact information for the group's facilitator and ask to be put on the email distribution. It's that simple.
Want to Propose a SIG?
We will announce the proposed SIG to the OLLI membership and in the monthly e-bulletin. When 5 or more people have expressed an interest in the proposed topic, the OLLI office will put you in touch with one another. Once a SIG has formed we will post an announcement on the program's Home Page with the name and contact information of the Group's facilitator.
