One of OLLI's best kept secrets are our shared interest groups, free and exclusively for OLLI at BCC members. Whether you are brand new to OLLI at BCC or a seasoned member of our learning community, you'll enjoy hearing from the leaders of our shared interest groups (SIGS), member-organized peer-led discussion and activity groups that all OLLI at BCC members are invited to join.  You'll learn more about our current groups, and how you can start one of your own!

The leaders of the following OLLI at BCC shared interest groups will be on hand and sharing information on their groups. It's a great way to find one for yourself! Click on the names for further information, including how to join.
