OLLI Interest Groups

Over the years, we have learned that people join OLLI for two major reasons. The first is the opportunity to learn new things, but a secondary, and sometimes more important reason, is the opportunity to meet new friends who have similar interests. Our Interest Groups bring together members who have similar interests or hope to meet others socially.


Our current Interest Groups include:

 Lunch Group - SVSU  

Meets monthly for lunch on the third Friday.
