Your CALL Organization
Our Mission: to offer learning enrichment for mature adults by providing exceptional experiences at minimal cost.
CALL is affiliated with Columbus State University, but is a peer-led organization with all activities, including classes, developed and facilitated by members.
The curriculum is varied evolving from the interests of the members and includes intellectual, artistic, social, technical, and physical activities.
Most members are retired seniors, but CALL is open to all and you can take one or all of the courses for the membership fee. See the membership page for more information on joining.

We have two time slots open for the Fall that we would like to fill, Wednesdays 11:45-1:15 and Thursday 11:45- 1:15. If you can be a facilitator please let us know. You can lead for the entire 6 weeks, or just a few of the weeks, perhaps teaming up with another member. You will be getting a special issue of the CALL newsletter telling of the need for facilitators and the experiences of some of our great facilitators.
We have a large selection of Great Courses DVDs that just need someone as facilitator.
Check the attached link and see if there is a class you would like to lead.
Unused DVDs.
You can also design your own class, maybe you have vacation pictures that could be shared. Or there is a book that interests you. Or you know of a member of the community who would be a guest speaker.
CALL started at CSU in 1994.
Your participation will keep CALL going, and you'll have fun.
