OLLI: Only the best parts of teaching
Students from a 2017 UAF Osher Lifelong Learning Institute class took advantage of the cold weather to enjoy some ice cream together.
Oct. 8, 2021
UAF's Osher Lifelong Learning Institute needs volunteer instructors to teach short courses for spring 2022. Enjoy all the best parts of teaching: present your favorite subject to interested older adults, with no grading, no tests and no homework. This is a great chance to present your research in a low-stakes environment to non-specialists who will really listen and ask good questions. Instructors can be faculty (current or retired), grad students or community members.
Please submit your course proposal online by Nov. 1.
A typical OLLI class meets once a week for four weeks. You can choose to meet Zoom-only, hybrid (some students present in person and others joining via Zoom), or in-person-only. In-person classes meet in UAF’s University Park building, 1000 University Ave.
Spring 2022 dates:
Session I: Feb. 7-March 4
Add-on I (spring break week): March 7-10
Session II: March 14-April 8
Add-on II: April 11-15
“Add-on” weeks are used for make-up classes, shorter courses that meet just once or twice, or if an instructor wants to teach for five weeks instead of the usual four. Most of our classes meet during the day on weekdays, but we like to offer a few early-evening classes too.
