Study Leaders
Guidelines and information on course proposals and teaching
If you are interested in teaching a class for the Fall 2013 term, please complete and return the Study Leader Course Proposal Form (pdf), which also includes instructions. Completed forms are due back to the Osher office by April 5, 2013. We will send a written acknowledgement when we receive your course proposal form.
Dates for the Summer 2013 term classes are:
- First session: Sept 2 - Oct 11
- Second session: Oct 28 - Dec 6
The popularity and growth of Osher at Carnegie Mellon are due to the commitment, enthusiasm and talents of our study leaders. Study leaders volunteer all of their time in preparing and educating an engaged group of lifelong learners.
Who are our study leaders?
Professors from Carnegie Mellon, the 
University of Pittsburgh and other local colleges and high schools, religious figures, political consultants, lawyers, artists, architects, directors of non-profit groups, police detectives, physicians, historians, engineers, assistant district attorneys, poets, editors, chefs, naturopaths, and the Dean of our Library have all provided a splendid array of diversified and stimulating courses. Members of the Curriculum Committee meet three times per year to discuss potential study leaders. Carnegie Mellon professors have been most helpful in teaching courses and in recommending other instructors to volunteer their time to teach for Osher. Members have also provided suggestions for possible courses and are encouraged to do so.
