Course Previews

Course Previews
Presenter Jim Mahoney teaching a course with his books on the desk.

From in-class and Zoom to our Outdoor Adventures and Exploring the Community categories, we know there will be a course or two that is just right for you!  To learn about our upcoming offerings, many of our talented presenters have taken time to create wonderfully creative videos "previewing" their courses.  After watching these videos, we know you will be as excited about this semester as we are!
Course previews are a wonderful way to learn about an upcoming term’s courses as presenters join us to promote their courses and to answer your questions about the course. Previews are also a terrific way to meet other members. We hope you will join us at any, or all, of these upcoming events. 

All events are open to the public and we encourage you to bring a friend or two and introduce them to OLLI at UNH!
