Sixty Plus at SFSU
San
Francisco State established Sixty Plus in 1975. Currently, it is a
self-supporting, self-governing student organization consisting of two Chapters
- Beta and Gamma. Each chapter meets twice a month to hear University and other
speakers on subjects ranging from current world and local political issues to
late developments in science and the arts.
Members may audit undergraduate classes at the University
on a space available basis without additional fees and with permission of the
instructor. They are encouraged to participate in class discussion, but are not
required to prepare assignments or take tests. Short term fee classes are offered specially
for members of Sixty Plus.
Chapters
elect their own officers and members volunteer to serve on commitees. A wide
variety of learning, cultural, and social activities are offered, including
social events, day and overnight tours and discount tickets for performing
arts.
Chapters
manage their own membership funds and coordinate activities through a Joint
Executive Board and the University.
Sixty Plus
provides a lifelong learning experience.
