Interested in teaching for OLLI?
The Osher Life Long Learning Institute affiliated with UC Berkeley (OLLI@Berkeley) is interested is identifying instructors for the next academic year (2017-18) who have an interest in teaching senior learners.

Classes range anywhere from large lecture to small seminar in format and are taught at two venues--classroom and lecture venues on or near the Berkeley Campus, and in Lafayette at the Lafayette Library and Learning Center. Of particular interest are identifying professors in the history department who would like to teach survey courses as well as more focused historical periods. Other subjects such as literature, science, politics, law, and visual and performing arts are also in demand.
