Bad Weather Policy

All in-person classes will be canceled if Pittsburgh Public Schools are closed for inclement weather. Zoom classes will still be held.

Please check local new stations or the Pittsburgh Public Schools website for their closing information. A notice will be posted to the Osher at CMU website. We will do our best to send out email notices to classes, but be aware that staff assistance may be limited or delayed.

If the Pittsburgh City Schools have a 2-hour delay, classes will operate as normal unless a study leader chooses to cancel their class. If classes are canceled due to weather mid-day, you will receive both an email and a robocall alerting you to the cancelation from the Osher office.

Please use common sense when venturing out.

5050: SIG - Canasta

Osher at CMU Woo-Hoo: Come play canasta on Friday afternoons with your Osher at CMU friends!

A year ago one of our members set out to start a Canasta SIG in our lounge.  Eight showed up the first day and by word of mouth the group is now at 36 and growing.  If you don't know how to play, it doesn't matter because everyone is eager to coach you into becoming a competitive player.  It has become a fun way to meet other Osher at CMU members and to spend a Friday afternoon.
