Program Planner Resources

Resources for Program Planners

OLLI Program Planners are the backbone of OLLI Mason. They meet intermittently to find teachers, speakers and topics of interest to create first-rate programming and events for our membership. There is a program planning group for every subject, so if you have an expertise or want to help develop OLLI curriculum in a particular area, please join our excellent programming team! To do so, email our program associates at program@gmu.edu. Education, experience or interest in a particular academic area is encouraged, but not necessary. You just need a desire to help develop curriculum and have fun with a group of dynamic and motivated individuals.

Below is a “tool kit” of resources and information for OLLI program planners to use when developing curriculum for upcoming terms.

  • Program Planner Responsibilities
    • Helpful Hints for Program Planning (pdf)
  • Guidelines for Recruiting Instructors. This document provides step-by-step instructions on how to recruit instructors new to OLLI or instructors who have already taught at OLLI previously. It includes sample texts you may cut and paste and/or customize for emailing a potential instructor.
  •  List of Past OLLI Instructors and Topics Taught. Click the locations below for a PDF spreadsheet listing classes (by topic taught), instructor name and attendance. For email contact information for the instructors listed, please email the program associates at (program@gmu.edu). Use this spreadsheet to identify experts/topics in areas of interest to your planning group.

  • List of Teachers and Classes Willing to Teach at Other Campuses. This document lists teachers, their classes and the locations at which they are willing to teach.
