Teach a Class!
WHY TEACH AN OLLI UA COURSE?
“ The classes are simple, fun, and comfortable. The settings are informal,
friendly and exciting. To me, it’s the ideal learning experience, and once
you’ve taught one, you want to teach more and more classes.”
- Dr. Tom Paradise, University of Arkansas Professor of Geosciences
in the J. William Fulbright College of Arts & Sciences
Share your knowledge and experience with an audience that
is hungry for learning and lively discussion. Current and retired university faculty,
distinguished community members, business leaders, hobbyists and others are
invited to share their knowledge on a wide variety of thought provoking topics
guided by member interest.
Whether it be a multi-session course, hands on workshop, ongoing study group, or
a one-time lecture, hike or walking tour, the OLLI Curriculum Committee is seeking
knowledgeable, passionate, and engaging individuals to offer classes.
Currently OLLI is offering classes in three formats: In person, virtually via Zoom,
and a Hybrid combination to accommodate both in person and online participants
simultaneously. Training and resources for all formats are offered and available on
our website.
Teaching a class with OLLI is a great way to share your expertise, highlight
training.uark.edu
your business or industry, or share your love for a topic with other like-minded
individuals. If you are interested in learning more about teaching opportunities
with OLLI – U of A, visit our website (olli.uark.edu/participate/teach). There you will
find information on teaching opportunities as well as the course proposal form.

Proposals are accepted for the fall and spring semesters.
The deadline is April 30 for fall proposals and Oct. 30 for spring proposals.
