Why consider becoming a Study Group Leader?
Our courses are the heart of BOLLI’s program. By becoming a Study Group Leader, you build the BOLLI learning community. Many SGLs report having gained from this experience even more than they gave to it.
Things to think about:
· How do I choose a topic?
· Should I give a five-week or a ten-week course?
· Should I have a co-leader?
Can I get help with preparing a proposal?
Our Curriculum Committee would be happy to help. Please send an email to bolli@brandeis.edu and someone from the committee will be in touch.
Do Study Group Leaders receive any special benefits?
Yes! SGLs are entitled to certain course assignment lottery exemptions and membership fee reductions, as well as in-person access to all the resources the Brandeis Library has to offer. Click here for a full list of benefits.
The BOLLI Study Group Support Committee helps SGLs provide optimal teaching and learning experiences for their course participants. Learn more about the SGSC on their website here.

We are a year-round community of intellectually curious adults, age 50 and above, who explore a liberal arts curriculum through study groups, seminars, lecture series and special presentations and events. Study groups are led by BOLLI members who bring a broad range of life experience and knowledge into their classrooms to enrich the exchange of ideas. Brandeis University instructors, experts in their field and master-teachers, lead seminars and lecture series. Members regularly organize special presentations and events including book discussions, theater and museum outings, poetry circles, photo exhibits, and literary salons.
