Want to share your passion and knowledge? UAF’s Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) is currently seeking volunteer instructors for the spring. It's a wonderful, low-stress opportunity to gain teaching experience with a friendly audience.
OLLI is a non-credit educational program for adults ages 50 and up. We offer short courses in numerous subjects during the fall and spring semesters. Past topics have included Fairbanks tall tales, the scientific history of Alaska, bird migration patterns, ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø forecasting, and an assortment of recreational courses. We welcome any topics you’re interested in sharing with us!
Our volunteer instructors include UAF faculty, staff, graduate students, and knowledgeable community members. 🙂 You don’t have to be an expert, you just have to be passionate!
