If you have knowledge to share and are looking for a community outreach opportunity or service project that would connect you with learners on a new level, consider volunteering for the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at WVU.
Learn more about teaching for OLLI, including what type of programs are of interest to members, the proposal process, support provided to instructors and the rewards of teaching during this information session June 24 at 3 p.m.
This is teaching for the fun of it. OLLI at WVU offers professors, lecturers, teachers, scholars and educators of all types the opportunity to share their knowledge with an enthusiastic and engaged group of learners in a classroom setting or on Zoom with no tests or grades to worry about.
An affiliate program of the WVU School of Public Health, OLLI is dedicated to providing short, non-credit educational programming designed for adults 50 and older. Led by volunteers, OLLI classes fall into a wide variety of subject matter, including the arts, history, literature, philosophy, religion, science, math, health and wellness, current events and more.
Classes may meet just once for an hour or last up to fourteen hours over eight weeks during summer, fall, winter or spring terms in Morgantown and/or Charleston.
OLLI members are passionate about learning. Drawn from all walks of life, they are curious about the world around them and ready to discover what they didn’t know.
Register for the OLLI information session to receive the Zoom link.
