Every Volunteer Makes a Difference!

OLLI at SOU runs on curiosity, connection and volunteers. There’s no single way to get involved. Some roles are ongoing and collaborative; others are short-term, occasional, or behind the scenes. The best fit is simply what matches your interests, energy and schedule. Browse the interest areas below and click on any for more information. If you see something you're interested in, submit a Volunteer Interest Form or contact Program Specialist Megan Rutherford at rutherfordm@sou.edu.

Guidance on Using Raider Moodle

Several OLLI at SOU instructors are using the learning management platform called Raider Moodle. This platform provides a space for instructors to post course materials, host discussion boards, and send out announcements to students. The OLLI office creates accounts for every member enrolled in a Raider Moodle course. Refer to the Raider Moodle Guide for OLLI Members to find instructions on logging in, accessing courses, and more!

Note: Students enrolled in courses were advised not to use the Moodle app, as it is not the same as our Raider Moodle site. Please log into raider.moodle.sou.edu to access your Raider Moodle courses.

Lost and Found Reminder!

Do you recognize any of these waterbottles? Our lost and found at the SOU Campbell Center has been steadily growing this term. Come reclaim your lost belongings by visiting the OLLI Lost and Found in the Members' Lounge.
