If you have knowledge to share and are looking for a community outreach opportunity or service project, consider volunteering for the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at WVU.
Learn more about teaching at OLLI, including the programs of interest, the proposal process, support provided to instructors and the rewards of teaching, during a virtual information session at 4 p.m. Tuesday (Sept. 12) or 12:30 p.m. Friday (Sept. 15).
OLLI is dedicated to providing short, non-credit educational programming designed for adults 50 and older.
The programs offer professors, lecturers, teachers, scholars and educators the opportunity to share their knowledge with an enthusiastic, engaged group of learners in a classroom setting or on Zoom with no tests or grades to worry about. This is teaching for the fun of it.
Classes are led by volunteers and cover a wide variety of subjects, including the arts, history, literature, philosophy, religion, science, math, health and wellness, current events and more.
Classes may meet once for an hour or up to 14 hours over eight weeks during summer, fall, winter or spring terms in Morgantown and/or Charleston.
Register to attend an information session.
If you’re interested but unable to attend a session, contact Jascenna Haislet at Jascenna.Haislet@hsc.wvu.edu to arrange a meeting.
