The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (UDOLLI) began 26 years ago as the University of Dayton Institute for Learning in Retirement or UDILR. Since 2004, we have been proud members of the Osher Lifelong Learning Network, a group of more than 100 institutes across the country dedicated to meeting the needs of adult learners over 50 years of age who wish to gather for the joy of learning and personal fulfillment.

OUR MISSION STATEMENTThe purpose of the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at the University of Dayton is to offer adults 50 years or better a wide variety of seminars based on the peer-learning concept and designed to be intellectually stimulating in an informal and noncompetitive environment.

We are a vibrant communityWe are adults with wide-ranging interests in art, current events, health and fitness, history, literature, music, religion and science. A curriculum committee works with the Executive Director of Special Programs and Continuing Education to select our curriculum on the basis of member requests, the expertise of moderators, variety and balance. Moderators include University of Dayton (UD) professors and community professionals who lead peer-to-peer informal lecture and discussion seminars that typically meet once a week for two hours, for four to eight weeks. The summer program consists of two one-day sessions, three lunch-and-learn presentations, five seminars, one being offered online.

Our seminars are noncreditThere are neither tests nor grades, nor educational requirements. Participation is essential, ranging from keeping up with assigned readings and contributing to seminar discussion to sharing the results of one’s own research.

UDOLLI is a cooperative ventureWe rely on the contributions and participation, both in seminars and out, of each member. Members assist the Executive Director of Special Programs and Continuing Education by moderating seminars, coordinating lecture series, leading small group discussions, organizing activities and volunteer projects, serving on the board of advisors and committees, acting as seminar liaisons, helping in the office and volunteering for all other tasks that keep us going.

Aging Mastery Program® NEW The Aging Mastery Program® (AMP) is a partnership with the National Council on Aging. AMP supports modest lifestyle changes to empower and support health and longevity. The program encourages mastery of sustainable behaviors that will lead to improved health, stronger financial security and overall well-being. AMP incorporates evidence-informed materials, expert speakers, group discussion, peer support and small rewards to give participants the skills and tools to achieve measurable improvements.

Preliminary results have shown that older adults in the program significantly increased their:• Social connectedness• Physical activity levels• Healthy eating habits• Use of advanced planning• Participation in evidence-based programs• Adoption of several other healthy behaviors

Satisfaction surveys have shown that 98% of participants said this program helped them improve the quality of their life, 98% of participants rated the quality of the program as excellent or good, and 99% of participants said it was fun.

AMP is important because life expectancy has increased dramatically in the past 50 years and people are generally unprepared for this increased longevity.

Both plays raise a number of related issues worth spirited discussion and ultimately allow questions about generic differences — how is “Antony and Cleopatra” a tragedy? And how is “Troilus and Cressida” something else?

Update: Police Reform in America. How Much Has Changed Since Riots Began in May 2020?In May, 2020 the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis during an arrest sparked violent nationwide protests and riots. Peaceful protesters often found their efforts overtaken by extreme elements. Police in America were soon labeled as racists and oppressors of minorities. Demands poured in to disarm, defund and abolish police. There were also calls for more minority police and creation of unarmed non-police responders. Social media and videos fed the frenzy. Many police retired or resigned. Some cities and politicians launched committees to recommend reforms and recommendations by 2021. It is now 10 months later. What is the status of demands for change and reform? Are race relations better? Has hiring police officers and retention suffered? Do Americans feel safe? We will use a mix of presentations and poll questions and encourage open discussion.

Former Byrds bassist Chris Hillman recalls writing “So You Want to Be a Rock ‘n’ Roll Star” in Laurel Canyon in 1966 in his house, on a steep winding street with a name he doesn’t remember. The Doors’ lead singer Jim Morrison reportedly wrote “Love Street” while living behind the Laurel Canyon Country Store.” This seminar explores the music of that period in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Tai Chi: Easy to Improve BalanceTai Chi is an ancient Chinese exercise and has roots in Chinese martial arts. It uses a series of slow, flowing motions and deep, slow breathing to exercise the body and calm the mind. You move from one pose to another gradually, shifting your weight and extending your limbs to challenge your balance.

Tai chi can help people especially older adults improve their balance and lower their fall risk. And by reducing their risk of falls, seniors can lower their odds of suffering a debilitating fracture. (https://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/best-exercise-for-balance-tai-chi)

CONNECTING GENERATIONS & CULTURES A TALENT BANK & CLEARING HOUSE PROGRAM With age comes experience and wisdom that can be priceless when shared with others

1. What Is This Program About? The UDOLLI Connecting Generations & Cultures (CGC) program connects UDOLLI to the Dayton area community utilizing our vibrant, highly educated, experienced and talented members. Connecting Generations & Cultures is a Talent Bank & Clearing House program for community organizations. We put your talents to work by connecting you to organizations to help carry out their mission. As members of our program, many of you are ready and anxious to share your decades of knowledge, experience and wisdom with those who can benefit.

2. Connecting Criteria The CGC program has been reaching out to various community groups, and many have reached out to us. We connect to organizations that meet any one of these criteria: is it educational, cultural, civic, social, governmental, inter-generational? Can our members and the organization’s members contribute to and benefit from the connection experience? As opportunities come along we promote them to UDOLLI members. Check out our connected organizations at right. Let us know of any organizations you feel would make a good connection with our program.*

*NOTE: A recommendation is no guarantee we will make a connection. We carefully review every idea to ensure it fits within UDOLLI’s mission and the objectives of the Connecting Generations & Cultures program. Our Executive Director makes all final decisions. All UDOLLI members involved with any Connecting Generations & Cultures program must understand and accept that they represent the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at the University of Dayton and must adhere to all rules and regulations that may apply to the University and our program.

3. Connecting You Here’s how we get you connected. We communicate an organization’s needs in a variety of ways: email, newsletter, seminar announcements, special presentations and promotional flyers. You’ll learn about the organization, decide if you’re interested and then you reach out to the organization’s contact directly. You are then on your way to a new adventure.

Your connection could be for a single project or an ongoing program. For example, you could share your ideas during a creative planning session or work with the organization on a regular basis to carry on their mission. There may be several of your fellow UDOLLI members involved in the same activity, or it might be just you. Whatever project or organization you get involved with, you will meet new friends and perhaps build lifelong relationships. You may even find that a connection can be life changing. You may be a senior, but you’re not done yet! You can share your years of experience and wisdom to make our community a better place.

4. Our Connected Partners The following list includes all organizations to-date we have connected with since the inception of CGC in 2013. With some of our connections our members have been deeply involved working on a variety of projects, while with others we are just getting started in making deeper connections. The connection may currently be active or inactive. Our members have contributed their expertise in a variety of ways: teaching, mentoring, donating, facilitating deliberation discussions, and facilitating creative and strategic planning sessions.
