We invite you to join The Renaissance Society for the academic year that will run from July 1, 2009, through June 30, 2010.  The membership fee of $60 for the year includes Renaissance activities for Fall and Spring semesters, as well as a Friday Only parking permit for the CSUS campus.  There are also special optional social events during the year that vary in additional cost.

As a member, you will also receive a monthly Renaissance Recorder newsletter published nine times a year that will keep you informed on Renaissance Society activities.  

Our on-campus seminars meet for 12 or 13 Fridays (depending on holidays when the campus is closed) in both the Fall and Spring semesters. Some of the off-campus seminars continue throughout the year.  

For further information, look around this Website, e-mail us at rensoc@csus.edu or call the Renaissance Society office at 278-7834.  

We hope that you will decide to be a part of The Renaissance Society.

Since the semester is now half over, you might want to consider waiting and joining for the Spring Semester, which will begin in February. That cost will be $35.

What is the Renaissance Society?

The Renaissance Society is a participatory "Center for Learning in Retirement" in which members choose to study topics proposed by their peers who coordinate the seminars. These subjects constantly evolve from the interests of the members.

Who may join?

Membership is open to all seniors who wish to engage in participatory learning. No college degree is required for membership - just the wisdom that comes with experience and the curiosity that sustains interest in learning. The annual membership fee covers the courses offered during the year, and a campus parking permit good on Fridays.  Campus library privileges are offered for a $5.00 fee to the library.

Where do we meet?

We generally meet on the campus of California State University, Sacramento. Also, there are off-campus seminars, walks and excursions arranged by experienced volunteers bringing learning opportunities to members who subscribe.

When do we meet?

Normally, we meet on campus on Fridays afternoons from 1:00-2:45 p.m. for the Seminars. Additional seminars are held off campus at various times and locations in the community. Following the seminars each week, an "Open Forum" is held featuring invited speakers of note who share their views with members, followed by lively question and answer sessions.

How do I join?

You join by applying at the Renaissance Office, CSUS, 6000 J Street, Adams Building, Room 210, Sacramento, CA 95819-6074, or call (916)278-7834 during office hours Monday- Thursday 9 am-12, and Friday, 10 am-12:30. An online application form is available above for downloading to your printer!
