BOLLI Faculty Lectureship

BOLLI engages talented Brandeis faculty to lead lecture series and study groups.

This teaching has enriched the BOLLI program inestimably, and from all reports, the intellectual life of Brandeis faculty as well. BOLLI is grateful to count these talented individuals as part of its learning community.

Interested faculty should contact Ted Gilman, BOLLI Director, at bollidirector@grandeis.edu.

"Teaching at BOLLI is always a wonderful experience. The students bring to every session not only their insight and intelligence, but the depth of life experience and moral maturity that makes for meaningful, thoughtful discussions, and for rich memories. It has been a privilege to know all the people of Bolli and to share time with them in class and outside of class."
