Interested in Teaching for OLLI at SOU?

Have you thought about teaching a course for OLLI at SOU, but were a bit nervous about the process?

The Introduction to Teaching at OLLI at SOU course will help you think through your ideas. You'll get advice from veteran instructors and meet with a mentor to help fill out a course proposal (fall term proposals are accepted May 1-31). Courses can be in-person or online. Lecture, discussion, or activity. Introduction to Teaching at OLLI is open to non-members and is offered in a hybrid format so that participants can attend in-person at the Campbell Center or via Zoom.

For more information and to register for Introduction to Teaching at OLLI at SOU, call the OLLI office at 541-552-6048 or register at the link above (must be logged in).

Talented and committed OLLI volunteers keep our OLLI at SOU program vibrant! Without their involvement, we wouldn’t have our extensive curriculum, member support, community outreach, planning and governance--among others. We can help you find a short-term task or longer-term position that fits your background, skills, and interests.

View our newly updated OLLI Volunteer Classifieds ad to see if there is a position of interest to you!

Thank You to our ACCESS Senior Fair Volunteers!

We’d like to thank the six volunteers who represented OLLI at SOU at the Access Senior Fair last Tuesday:

Colet Allen, Judy LaVally, Ann Magill, Robbi McMinimy, Charlotte O’Hare, and Colleen Patrick-Riley.

They talked with many, many folks about our OLLI program. Charlotte O’Hare and Colet Allen are pictured in this photo at the event.

If you’d like to be a volunteer for the Communications and Community Outreach Committee, please contact Peggy Evans at mevans@mind.net.

(Additional Communications and Community Outreach positions are listed in the ad linked above.)

Mark your calendars for the following Talk to Us series, where OLLI members John Ferris and Barry Vitcov hold one-hour Zoom interviews with accomplished people who make a difference in Southern Oregon and beyond.
