OLLI at ISU’s Purpose

The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Indiana State University (OLLI at ISU) is a non-profit, membership

organization open to all adults but geared towards individuals age 50 and older, regardless of academic background.

At its center are learning programs designed by its members and tailored to suit their interests. These programs

(lectures, courses, and special events) are offered without concern for grades, credits, or prerequisites. Indeed, the

only requirement for membership in the Institute is a desire to learn.

The Institute emphasizes collaborative leadership and active member participation. The primary responsibilities for

programs are assumed by Institute members, all of whom volunteer their time. However, it is only because of the

substantial support of the Bernard Osher Foundation and Indiana State University that the Institute can offer these

unique learning opportunities to residents of the Wabash Valley. The Osher Institute is also affiliated with the Road

Scholar (Elderhostel Institute Network).

Mission Statement

The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute is a forum for adults of all academic and economic backgrounds

to learn about a wide variety of subjects they find interesting and engaging.

WHAT MEMBERS SAY ABOUT OLLI!

Carol Pabst: A good friend of mine had a stroke a few years ago. Gradually, her movements have become more

concentrated. In order to encourage some aerobic exercise without stressing her joints, we joined the water

aerobics course. The ISU arena pool water was very cold, but the warmth of the instructor's smile and the laughter

of all the participants made the class very enjoyable. My friend can no longer drive at night, so the next few

months will be dryer for us. But look out Spring! We will be making some waves!

Brenda Christianson: I truly enjoyed the trip to Lafayette, Indiana, to visit the Haan Mansion with its fine

architecture, furnishings and exquisite art pieces.

Willie Watson: Thanks for giving us a wide variety of programs to choose from. The price for membership &

prices for the programs is certainly fair.

Mike Phillips: I am a retired U.S. History/Government teacher, and particularly enjoyed the OLLI Early Indiana

History, and WWII B-17 classes, as well as the session on the Alaskan native peoples held at Westminster a

couple years ago. Unfortunately I had scheduling conflicts that prevented me from taking Donald Layton's classes

on WWII in Europe, and the class on old Fort Harrison.

Dixie Brown: OLLI has allowed me to explore topics of interest as I gather with old friends, and meet new

people. The subjects are diverse and the presentations are excellent!

Patty Butwin: OLLI at ISU offers great programs for expanding my mind, and keeping me in touch with the

what's happening around campus. I especially enjoy classes with undergraduate students, and programs focused

on Broadway Musicals, Shakespeare's Classics, Politics, and Art/Architecture. Can't wait to see what's in the

Catalog for Winter 2015!

Pat Breault: I became interested in World War II because my father was in it. I went to Dr. Layton's lectures, and

was so impressed, that I took a tour in Europe. I knew next to nothing about World War I so I enrolled in his

lectures for this semester. I left the class wishing I had his notes so I could absorb more of what he had to say.

aerobics. It is a flexible class that allows you to work at your

own pace. There are both shallow and deep end exercises but

no swimming is required. Equipment is not provided but, for

added intensity to your workout, you may want to bring

equipment intended for water exercise. Participants must

wear swimsuits. Participants will have use of a locker in the

arena, but will need to bring their own locks.

A Survey of Spies: Looking at

Espionage in Entertainment since

WWII With Chris Berchild, ISU Chairperson,

Department of Theater

Date/Time: Mondays and Wednesdays,

January 12, 21, 26 & February 4, 2015

from 3 - 5 PM

Place: ISU, Cunningham Memorial Library,

Room 028

Cost: $20

Throughout history, there have always been

two stories told about the battles that are

waged between nations—the epic clashes

fought on a grand scale between two (or

more) powers on the field of battle, and the

silent invisible tactics that are waged for

information and leverage in the shadows and

out of public sight. After the close of WWII—the prime

global example of this first style of conflict—the world

engaged in a different kind of war, a Cold War, replete with

espionage, hidden agendas, and unknown players.

This world of secrets and spies became an obsession of

authors and filmmakers in the years since, creating some of

the most memorable and exciting books, films, and television

series of the 20th and 21st centuries. This course, broken

into four parts, will look at works of espionage and

intelligence written and filmed since the close of WWII,

examining works from the spy novels and stories of Ian

Fleming and John le Carré, to the many adventurous films—

including Hitchcock and the much lauded Bond and Bourne

series, to the small screen—from The Avengers and The

Prisoner to today’s The Americans and The Blacklist. Join

Chris Berchild as he walks through the last six decades in an

examination of all things classified yet popular to see the

effects that the Cold War really did have on entertainment!

COURSES

Social Issues of the 1960’s:

An Intergenerational Dialogue With Lisa Borrero, ISU Assistant Professor of

Applied Health Sciences

Date/Time: Thursdays, January 29, February 26, March 26,

from 12:30 - 1:45 PM

Place: ISU, University Hall, Whitaker Conference Room

Cost: $20

Do you remember the 60’s? Do young

people understand the profound

societal impact the decade of the 1960’s

had upon U.S. society? This course

brings together OLLI members and

undergraduate students enrolled in

ISU’s “Society and Aging” class for a

collaborative, intergenerational learning experience focusing

on key social issues of the 1960’s. Learners of these two gen-

erations will come together to analyze, discuss, and

reflect upon significant historical events from the decade of

the 60’s in order to shed light on the meaning of these events

to differing age groups and the impact of the events on the

aging experience in the United States. This course is

comprised of four face-to-face meetings that will represent a

cumulative learning experience done in small groups

involving outside research activities, in-class discussions,

and a final presentation. As such, OLLI members interested

in participating should plan to attend each of the four

sessions in order to be part of the complete intergenerational

learning experience.

COURSES

Great World Religions: Christianity With Reverend Rebecca Zelensky, Central Christian Church

Date/Time: Mondays, February 2, 9, 23, & March 2, 2015

from 3 - 5 PM

Place: ISU, University Hall, Room 212A

Cost: $20

Christianity is the world’s largest religious tradition with

current data claiming 2.1 billion followers worldwide.

Christianity has played a prominent role in shaping Western

civilization and is based on the life, teachings, and death/

resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth who lived in ancient Israel

two thousand years ago.

In this course we will study and discuss the life and ministry

of Jesus, the spread of the early church, how the major

branches of Christianity (Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox,

and Protestant) developed, the various beliefs and practices

of Christians; and major issues and challenges facing

Christian faith communities today.

Why Geography Matters With Dorothy Drummond, Retired Geographic Educator and

World Traveler

Date/Time: Tuesdays, February 10, 17, & 24, 2015

from 2 - 4 PM

Place: ISU, University Hall, Room 208

Cost: $15

Learn about the following interesting

geographical topics with the Great Courses DVD series and

geographical educator Dorothy Drummond.

Session 1

In Language of Maps we will look at how putting a round

earth on flat paper makes map-makers have to distort reality.

In looking at maps, we need to get into the mind of the

mapmaker. Then we will discuss Does Geography Determine

Destiny? Does where we live tend to shape how we think and

act? Does growing up near the sea, the mountains, in the

tropics, in cities, in small towns in a tribal culture, in a deep-

ly religious community determine a person’s destiny?

Session 2

The Human Footprint will talk about how there is almost no

pristine environment that human activity has not been

continually changed on the earth’s surface. Climate Change

and Civilization will explain how past civilizations reveal

changes in the environment and how our current

civilization, in particularly our heavy use of fossil fuel, is

influencing our global climate and raising questions about

how humans will adapt.

Session 3

5. Land Change, Past and Present will probe the issue of

behind global land change, such as rapid urbanization. The

End of Global Population Growth will look at how there are

more than seven billion people on the earth today.

Exponential growth in the past hundred years holds urgent

implications for sustainability. Yet human population growth

will likely end before 2050, and slowing population growth

may present new challenges.

COURSES

Indiana History: Civil War With Chris Olsen ISU Professor and Chair of History, Jim Buffington Emeritus ISU Associate Professor,

Chuck Fisher Providence Associate and Volunteer with the Sisters of Providence,

Marlene Lu Indiana Freedom Trails

Date/Time: Thursdays, February 26, March 5, 12, & 19, 2015

from 2 - 4 PM


Cost: $20

February 26 with Christopher Olsen

This overview of the causes and course of the Civil War focuses on several important themes throughout the era, including race

and race relations, state and federal relations, and politics in the Union. It concludes with a brief look at the most important

consequences and legacies of the Civil War era.

March 5 with James Buffington

On April 27, 1865, the Steamboat Sultana was steaming northward on the swollen waters of the Mississippi River. The Civil War

was just over, and thousands of Union prisoners of war were making their way home. On board the Sultana were thousands of

these former prisoners. In the wee hours of the morning just north of Memphis, Tennessee, a boiler on the Sultana exploded. This

explosion resulted in the greatest maritime disaster in United States history. This presentation reveals the unfortunate chain of

events resulting in the sinking of the steamboat and the part played by Indiana in this largely forgotten tragedy.

March 12 with Charles Fisher

The Sisters of Providence had a significant role during the Civil War. This presentation is part of the Indiana History Series and

will open up a chapter of that history that helped numerous families and soldiers at the bequest of Governor Oliver Morton. The

Civil War also took a toll on the Sisters' School (Academy), the students and their families.

March 19 with Marlene Lu

Slaves came through Indiana heading north to seek their freedom. How and where did they go? Many know about the route along

the eastern border of the state. Join in as we explore the routes of the Underground Railroad through west central Indiana.

COURSES

Astronomy With Holly Hudson, Terre Haute South High School Science

Teacher/Planetarium Director

Date/Time: Thursdays, March 12, 19, & 26, 2015

from 6 - 7:30 PM

Place: Terre Haute South High School,

Allen Memorial Planetarium 3737 S Seventh Street

Cost: $15

Observing Basics: Stars, Planets, and

Our Moon

Reacquaint yourself with the night sky or

come as a first time observer to learn how

to find constellations and other celestial

objects with the unaided eye. We will

discuss the yearly, monthly, and daily cycles of objects in the

sky. Come and learn how to use a star chart so that you can

take it home and continue the exploration. A reminder, at the

Planetarium we bring up the stars to simulate the night sky,

we are not an observatory with telescopes.

We Know We Are Not Alone, But Are We Unique?

If solar systems are a natural byproduct of a star’s formation,

then there should be other solar systems in our galaxy. We

will explore how solar systems form, take a look at new and

exciting findings in our own solar system and then provide an

update on the over 1,500 planets orbiting around other

nearby stars.

The Life Cycle of Stars from Birth to Death

Stars, like everything else, have a beginning and an end.

Come learn how stars are born, how they live out their lives,

the interesting stars they become along the way, and how in

the process of their deaths they seed the Universe with the 92

naturally occurring elements that make up planets and life. As

Carl Sagan use to say, “We are star dust.” Come and find out

how and why.

Southern Fiction and

Southern Issues With Caroline Carvill, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology

Professor of Literature

Date/Time: Wednesdays, March 11, 18, & 25, 2015

from 3 - 4:30 PM

Place: Westminster Village, Meeting Room

Cost: $15

This course will discuss three novels, Raney by Clyde

Plagues and Pandemics With Olabode Ayodele, ISU Assistant Professor Department

of Applied Health Sciences and

Shawn Phillips, ISU Associate Professor of Anthropology

Date/Time: Thursdays, April 2, 9, & 16, 2015

from 2 - 4 PM

Place: ISU, University Hall Room 208

Cost: $15

We hear in the news about plagues and pandemics but do we

really know the difference or if there is a difference? A

plague is a pandemic but a pandemic is not always a plague.

In this class we will be talking about plagues that are highly

infectious, usually fatal, diseases. We won’t be covering

plagues of locusts or other calamities. Pandemics can also

be plagues and are instances where diseases spread quickly

and affect a large number of people.

We will explore the differences, the histories of each, some

common diseases linked to them, and ways to prevent,

diagnose, and treat them. We will also learn how they can be

used as weapons of mass destruction.

Discussions of Great American

Bestsellers: Books That Shaped

America With Discussion Coordinator Michelle Bennett

Date/Time: Tuesdays, April 7, 14, & 21, 2015

Ancient Rome With Marvin Susott MA in History

Date/Time: Mondays, April 13, 20, & 27, 2015

from 6:30 - 8:30 PM


Cost: $15

Ancient Rome was an Italic civilization that began on the Italian Peninsula as early as the 8th century BC. Located along the

Mediterranean Sea and centered on the city of Rome, it expanded to become one of the largest empires in the ancient world with

an estimated 50 to 90 million inhabitants. In its approximately 12 centuries of existence, Roman civilization shifted from a

monarchy to a classical republic and then to an increasingly autocratic empire. Through conquest and assimilation, it came to

dominate Southern and Western Europe, Asia Minor, North Africa, and parts of Northern and Eastern Europe. Rome was

preponderant throughout the Mediterranean region and was one of the most powerful entities of the ancient world. It is often

grouped into "Classical Antiquity" together with ancient Greece, and their similar cultures and societies are known as the

Greco-Roman world.

Join other OLLI members as we learn about the culture of ancient Rome with Marvin Susott, and then in the following two

sessions take a brief look at Roman Structures and Greco-Roman Art. Both topics will be part of the Great Courses collection

OLLI owns.

January 7, 2015!

Have you ever wondered about the secret to drawing

portraits? This course will cover the fundamentals of

mapping and refining the proportions of the human face.

While the goal is to capture a likeness of the face, students

will experiment with elements such as composition, light and

shadow, value, and line. Participants will render textures,

explore shading methods, and learn how to draw different

Nature, Archaeology, Architecture,

and Sustainable Solutions in Europe

and Australia With James Speer, ISU Professor of Geography and Geology


from 1:30 - 3 PM

Place: Westminster Village,


During Dr. Speer’s Sabbatical in 2014, he

traveled through 12 countries giving talks on

tree-ring research and sustainability at

Universities throughout Europe, Australia,

and New Zealand. He studied tree rings to reconstruct

environmental variable.

His wife is an archaeologist, so during these travels they

visited many archaeological sites and he thought about what

they were seeing in the context of the lifetime of the trees.

He was amazed at the development of culture and language

in Mycenae in Greece which was active 3,500 years ago, but

then he thought about some individual trees that he worked

with that had more than 4,000 rings which put human

cultural development in the temporal context of his work.

This talk will be a pictorial tour viewing many

archaeological sites, architecture from some of the major

European cities, and nature. From this perspective it seems

clear that we need to live in balance with nature and develop

more sustainable solutions to the way that we live so he will

end with some sustainable solutions that are being promoted

in the different countries.

"Real Lawyers" and Other Legal

Myths With Gretchen Etling, Chief Public Defender of Vigo County

procedure. This session will focus on the criminal defense

The Environmental Impact of

Industrialization Along the

Wabash River, A History With Lisa Phillips, ISU Associate

Professor of History


from 1:30 - 3 PM

Place: Vigo County Public Library, Main

Branch, Meeting Room A

The Wabash River holds a central place in Indiana’s History.

A major waterway, the “waapaasiiki” was the mode by which

goods and people were transported across the area from the

days when, as its name indicates, it was “clear” and pristine

to a low period when it was deemed un-swimmable, its fish

too contaminated for human consumption. Lisa Phillips,

Associate Professor of History, and Indiana State History

Majors will discuss the history that helps to explain this

deterioration. While much of the explanation involves the

long history of industrialization and its consequences, just as

interesting are the ways in which people understood

“pollution” over the centuries.

THE FACES OF OLLI

FUN WITH OLLI

ISU COLLEGE OF ARTS AND

SCIENCES COMMUNITY SEMESTER

For details on these programs go to

http://www.indstate.edu/cas/communitysemester

History - The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Indiana State University (OLLI at ISU) offered its first adult programs in 1997

as the Dewey Institute for Lifelong Learning. At that time, the all-volunteer organization was – by necessity – small. However,

as the Institute became more and more popular, it outgrew its “all volunteer” capabilities: the members needed to hire a full-time

director. But where could they find the money to pay a director’s salary? Fortunately, in 2006 they discovered that the Bernard

Osher Foundation was providing one-year grants of $100,000 to lifelong learning institutes that could demonstrate that they met

its extensive and thoughtful criteria. After receiving these $100,000 grants for three consecutive years, the foundation invited

Indiana State to apply for a $1,000,000 endowment. After intense work by a hard-working and devoted committee, those funds

were awarded in 2010.

Value - Why join and support OLLI at ISU? Participation in OLLI affords each member with opportunities to experience a wide

variety of stimulating programs, social interaction and lifelong learning activities that enrich each member’s life.

Additional Support - The Bernard Osher Foundation requires that the funds from the endowment be invested. Consequently,

OLLI at ISU must operate on the income from the investments. OLLI at ISU receives 5% (approximately $50,000) of the market

value of the endowment each year. Although this requirement ensures that lifelong learning at ISU will continue in perpetuity, the

net effect is that the current income ($50,000) is one-half of the income from the original grants ($100,000). To maintain OLLI at

ISU’s current level of programs, please consider making a tax-deductible donation. All funds are used to offset daily costs and

underwrite lectures, courses and special events.

Contributions to the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Indiana State University are appreciated and are key to ensuring our

continued operation. These donations are tax-deductible and will be used by the organization to help increase programming, offset

daily costs, and underwrite the cost of special events.

Please make checks payable to the Indiana State University Foundation and fill out the form below, or call

812-541-8400.
