Call
for LLS Program Proposals – Fall
2015
The
Lifelong Learning Society of Florida
Atlantic University in Boca Raton
(LLS) seeks applications
for series and program proposals for Fall 2015.
Our Fall 2015 term begins September 30th. We
encourage presenters in all range of disciplines
to consider submitting proposals for
an eight (8)-week and/or four(4)-week series and One-Time Events.
We
are especially seeking series proposals
in the following disciplines: economics,
current affairs, history, art, science,
literature and cultural studies.
A limited number of series
will be designated for faculty who are
new at LLS. You can propose a four-week
session. Occasional
two hour one-time events may also be scheduled.
LLS series/events generally
meet once each week for 1 and ¾ hours; faculty compensation is based on student enrollment numbers.
Most LLS programs are held in
the comfortable 500-seat Barry and Florence Friedberg Auditorium.
Faculty, drawn from the FAU academic
community as well as from the extended academic and Boca Raton community,
are expert lecturers who have a passion and talent for conveying subject
matter in an interesting and intellectually engaging way to non-traditional
adult learners, most of whom are college or post-college graduates. While
not required, presenters are strongly encouraged to supplement lectures by
using visuals such as PowerPoint slides or other media.
For additional information about our program
and current program offerings, view our current semester on-line at this

Board of Advisors in a more timely way.

New, prospective presenters may
