Special Interest Groups
Special Interest Group (SIG) is a group of OLLI members who share a common interest and like to meet outside the normal class environment to discuss and enjoy this mutual interest. Each group is different depending on its focus, and all provide interesting lifelong learning opportunities as well as fun social experiences.
OLLI SIGs are independent and self-managed with members deciding when they will meet and planning how the group will function. Initially, members volunteer to be leaders or co-leaders, and leader roles may rotate. Volunteers also handle administrative and communication details. Most SIGs meet once a month although they may meet more or less often if members wish.
If you are interested in any topics please email us at olli@emory.edu.
