Rehearsal Week - September 5-8

These rehearsals are up to 30 minutes and where you will meet your assigned OLLI staff person and moderator, and run through the first few slides of your first class. This time is for you to ask any last minute questions and for your staff person and moderator to learn how you want to run the class sessions.
Rehearsals are held in your course link found in the Instructor portal. Each rehearsal will be held at the same time and day of your class. This fall, rehearsal week falls on Labor Day, therefore Monday classes will have rehearsals on Friday, September 8. You will receive an email with all the information regarding this session the week before. For questions please email olli@duke.edu.
