Welcome to Senior Studies Institute


NOTICE

We are excited to announce that SSI is transitioning to a new home within Portland Community College (PCC).
 PCC is undergoing an operational database change during this time and therefore is unable to provide an online credit card payment page for us. In the interim, dues will be processed from a completed and mailed application, accompanied by a check payable to PCC*: 
(*No checks will be accepted other than payable to PCC.)


Details for renewing members will be provided in a reminder letter in August.



Our Fall Schedule will be available

on this website in late August

Notes:
We launched a new
South East Current Events Group at PCC CLIMB in April. It meets in person every Tuesday from 10am to Noon

        Our Sellwood Current Events Group meets
in person every Monday from 1pm to 3

    Our North East Current Events Group meets in person
every Friday from 10am to Noon

SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS
These gatherings are a chance for members to focus on one particular area of interest beyond what is offered in classes or they offer the opportunity for members to gather together regularly to study and discuss topics of mutual interest in various disciplines. They are completely member-driven.  It's a great way to socialize with people with similar interests outside of the normal SSI class environment.  For more information check out the weekly SSI Newsletter to join. To start a SIG, email Warren.
 ​
Current Special Interest Groups Include:
            Play Reading Group      Poetry Group     Writing Group    Non-fiction Book Group      Film Study Group
​     Curiosity Cafe
