Have you ever considered offering a class for the community through OLLI? Teaching for OLLI offers the opportunity to share your expertise and make direct connections with learners beyond the HSU campus. OLLI at HSU is a vibrant lifelong learning community with over 1300 members in our region. OLLI classes vary in length and presentation but usually consist of 4 to 12 hours of instruction without assessment or homework. Through the years I've found most faculty have a "favorite six hours" block of instruction. Those pockets of inspiration and passion make a perfect OLLI class!

For the first time in 10 years, Ramadan will fall within the academic school year and will continue to do so for the next 2 decades!
Ramadan will begin on Sunday, May 5th, when many universities have yet to finish for the summer. It can be a difficult month for many to get through, especially students who have to go through a normal school day without eating or drinking. For schools, it's important to provide an environment for students where they feel safe to practice their religion, but maybe more importantly, one that ensures their well-being during the school day.
New Beginnings - It's May! The sun and flowers have come out and soon another cohort of students will walk across the stage and onwards to new and exciting things. It's hard to not join in the feeling of accomplishment and new beginnings as the academic year draws to a close.
Attached is the Learning Site Agreement Status List, current to to 5/1/19, which lists agencies that are approved learning sites (and those in process for approval or renewal) for students from Service Learning and Academic Internship courses. This list is for faculty use (it is not designed to be distributed to students, due to vetting needed by faculty). Students can now check the HS4U (S4) database for currently approved Learning Sites.
