Subject: Opportunities through the Academy of Lifetime Learning
Dear EIU Faculty and Staff member,
The School of Continuing Education’s Academy of Lifetime Learning staff has begun our program planning for Spring and Summer 2012. We are looking for interesting workshops and courses to provide our membership. The Academy has over 1000 members and through a survey they have indicated that their main areas of interest are history, current events, arts and humanities, and health. Popular courses have been held on writing, World War II and the Civil War, pottery, painting, international relations and more. Our members enjoy interactive courses and new experiences. There is no homework for you to grade, just an enjoyable experience sharing your knowledge and interacting with bright, interesting and informed students.
Your expertise is so valuable whether it is knowledge you have gained through education, experience or through personal interest and inquiry. Consider what it is you enjoy speaking about and submit a proposal to share your knowledge and interest using the linked form. We are asking if you would be willing to share your expertise in either a 1.5 hour workshop format or in a course format which consists of 3-4, 1.5 hour sessions. We are willing to offer you a $100.00 honorarium for each 1.5 hour session.
If you are interested in teaching for the Academy please submit the linked form to academy@eiu.edu prior to October 30th, 2011.
