Open U - Information for Instructors
Fall 2008


It’s time to begin Fall course planning! The deadline for Fall proposals is July 18th. We are seeking instructors in all fields to expand our course offerings. We welcome people with passion and talent. Formal credentials are great, but not a requirement for teaching. Open University instructors can choose to volunteer their time to the community or be compensated for their classes.

We will have access to some additional computer labs on the Virginia Tech campus, so if you have a class in mind that requires a computer lab, please send it our way. We are always looking for new instructors and class topics. Please share this information with anyone who maybe interested in teaching for Open University.

Guidelines for the Fall Session -

  • The twelve week session will run September 1 to November 19
  • Classes can be scheduled Monday – Thursday 5PM-9PM; Saturday 8AM-5PM and Sunday 1-6PM
  • Consider offering a class, demonstration and/or workshop that meets on Saturday or Sunday.

Completed course proposals can be emailed as an attachment or mailed to the YMCA at Virginia Tech at 403 Washington Street, Blacksburg, VA 24060.

If you have any questions, or would like assistance, please contact Aliana at 540-961-9622, or by email at aliana@vtymca.org

Please submit all course proposals by July 18th!
