Osher at JHU’s Intersession Membership provides an opportunity to try out Osher at JHU class(es) for adults aged 50 and better. Some classes are short, just one, two, or three, two-hour sessions, on a variety of topics. Others are longer, meeting once per week for six weeks. All winter Intersession classes are held online via Zoom. Links to attend classes will be sent to all registered class members the day before class begins.
If you have never been an Osher at JHU member, there is a one-time Intersession Membership fee of $50 which gives registrants access to the courses offered in January 2025. Click enroll yourself and choose the Winter Intersession Membership in Box 1, then add your selected classes in Box 3 under Winter courses.
Osher Members: If the system “forces” you to pay the $50 fee, just email [email protected] and let us know. We can refund the fee to your credit card.
