| | Last Day to Submit Winter Course Proposals | | |
This is the final call for Winter 2027 Course Proposals. All proposals are due by midnight tonight, August 31!
OLLI at SOU members are eager for fresh ideas this winter! Our members always request courses in foreign languages for travelers, movement, science and hands-on art. Courses can be held online or in-person.
Winter term runs Jan. 4-March 12 and is a great time to beat the cold and offer an online course. If you're new to teaching online, we will provide support and training.
Bring your knowledge and passion to the OLLI at SOU community. Email apcoleman2019@gmail.com with any questions.
